Hiro's Song Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

My name is hiro, I am 51 

Since 1980 life has been no fun, 

And I don't want to die- I left my family for the secretary 

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah 

Her name is yuko she is 22 

She and my daughter were best friends in high school 

They same I'm crazy and it's temporary 

But I refuse to rot like my contemporaries 

I want to explode- in a kareoke supernova 

(chorus:) 

I don't wanna grow old 

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode 

I don't wanna grow old 

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode, uh oh 

In a kareoke supernova, yeah 

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah 

Last night she dressed me up in hip hop pants 

The fat cheek style that rides below your ass 

She wants to show me to her mom and dad 

I told her I would not be down with that 

''cause lately I can feel the years between us 

And hope to God the friends at work don't see us. 

Tonight she if I'd ever seen jesus 

''cause she had backstage passes for the three of us 

(chorus) 

So now she's gone and broke my heart, God damn her 

Turns out she's been fucking a drum programmer 

She likes his style, she likes his rock star glamour 

Well she's an infant, he can damn-well have her. 

I don't wanna grow old 

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode 

I don't wanna grow old 

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode 

I don't wanna grow old (wanna grow old) 

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode 

I don't wanna grow old (wanna grow old) 

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode, uh oh 

In a kareoke supernova 

All right, all right bring the saxes in 

That's good, keep it up 

Ok, some more overdubs 

Bring in the tambourine 

Yeah, check it 

More shit, c'mon bring in some more shit 

Baby, c'mon 

All right 

Its' all, its' all, its' all, its' all, its' all, its' all me 

Baby, c'mon 

Yeah
