I'll be the one that stays 'till the end
And I'll be the one that needs you again
And I'll be the one that proposes in a garden of roses
And truly loves you long after our curtain closes

But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around
When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?

'Cause I am the one that waited this long
And I am the one that might get it wrong
And I'll be the one that will love you
The way I'm supposed to, girl, oh

But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around, around?
When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?

Proud of me, of my short list of accomplishments
And me and my lack of new news
Me and my selfishness, oh, me and myself
Wish you nothing but a happy new version of you

Because I, I mmm, mmm, yeah
I want you to tell me you find it hard to be yourself
So I can say it's gonna be alright yeah
And I want you to love me the way you love your family
The way you love to show me what it's like to be happy
