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 more than 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 more than use 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
