Mmmbop
Hanson · Live From Albertane
Only one or two will last
You're going through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast (and they're gone so fast)
So hold on to the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing you hair
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care?
Mmm bop, ba duba bop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Mmm bop, ba duba bop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows
Mmm bop, ba duba bop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Mmm bop, ba duba bop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
In a mmm bop they're gone. In an mmm bop they're not there.
In a mmm bop they're gone. In an mmm bop they're not there.
Until you lose your hair. But you don't care.
Mmm bop, ba duba bop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Mmm bop, ba duba bop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a flower or a rose?
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
