The lyrics are posted below: 

I got one small thing that's on my mind 

Am I half dead or am I doin' fine 

Well I know one thing, I won't be fogotten

I don't got nothin' and I want alot 

If money can't buy it I don't wanna talk 

Don't wanna be, long forgotten

`Cause I know what I need 

(But I don't know how to get it) 

It's totally out of reach 

Yeah, I know what I need 

(But I don't know how to get it) 

I wanna stay young, stay young

So, hold on to 18 

I know what I like babe 

Hold on to 18 

They can't see what I see

I don't care about society 

I don't care about responsibility 

And I don't need no one 

Out on my own

I won't grow old and I don't wanna die 

You say I'm too young but that's a dirty lie 

I wanna be, on my own now

`Cause I know what I need 

(But I don't know how to get it) 

It's totally out of reach 

Yeah, I know what I need 

(But I don't know how to get it) 

I wanna stay young

So hold on to 18 

I know what I like babe 

Hold on to 18 

They can't see what I see

(Solo)

I've got one small thing that's on my mind 

Am I half dead or am I doin' fine 

Well I know one thing, I won't be fogotten

I don't got nothin' and I want alot 

If money can't buy it I don't wanna talk 

Don't wanna be

Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18) 

I know what I like babe 

Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18) 

They can't see what I see

Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18) 

I know what I like babe 

Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18) 

Hold on to 18
