You tell me over and over not to look in the cupboard
But I can't help not to explore this new world
You say don't run around to fast inside, it'll be hard to slow down
I just need to see how fast my feet will take me
Don't cross the street without the hand of someone big to keep me safe
I want to be as independent as you someday
You said don't question me just believe the words I have to say
I want to be like you and not know all the answers
