I'll be the one that stays 'til the end

And I'll be the one that needs you again

And I'll be the one that proposes in a garden of roses

And truly loves you long after our curtain closes

But will you still love me when nobody wants me around

When I turn eighty one and forget things will you still be proud?

'Cause I am the one that's waited this long

And I am the one that might get it wrong

And I'll be the one that will love

you the way I'm supposed to, girl

But will you still love me when

nobody wants me around, around?

When I turn eighty one and forget

things, will you still be proud?

Proud of me and my short list of accomplishments, say

And me and my lack of new news

Me and my selfishness, oh me and myself

Wish you nothing but a happy new version of you

Because I, I mmm, mmm, yeah

I want you to tell me you find it

hard to be yourself so I can say

"It's gonna be alright"

And I want you to love me

the way you love your family

The way you love to

show me what it's like

To be happy
