Better When He Grows Up



Better When He Grows Up is a Shining Time Station song from Do I Hear sung by Beverly Gould-Copeland.

Lyrics
I have a little brother, he's a pretty good friend I have a lot of fun when I play with him But it makes me mad and it breaks my heart When he pulls and breaks my things apart

Oh, it's a worry when I get to my room at the end of the day And my toys are scattering every which a-way So I try to tell him and I try to explain But he just goes and does it again

Now tell me why does he have to lose them? I hear my toys calling, calling Break them or reuse them I hear my toys falling, falling Why does he have to use them at all? And will he get better when he grows up?

Oh, I have a little brother and most of time He's a good little guy and I like him just fine But he's a little too little and a lot too small And I don't think that he listens at all

Now tell me why does he have to lose them? I hear my toys calling, calling Break them or reuse them I hear my toys falling, falling Why does he have to use them at all? And will he be better when he grows up? Will he be better when he grows up?

Now someday soon he will be a big guy The best little brother, the apple of my eye He'll be a little more gentle and a lot more fun The kind of brother that can be the very best one And I won't care if he uses them all He'll be better 'cause he's grown up So much better 'cause he's grown up He'll be better 'cause he's grown up tall
