Gather around and I'll tell you a tale, I hope you catch the irony
I'd hate to be perpetually so cynical
And stale, but it's just so fun for me
At 10 Christopher Robin promises that we'll always be friends
Then leaves out the green door, never to return again
30 years down the road, Christopher Robin closes a business deal
To cut down the hundred acre woods and put condos there instead
His reasons for them: "I want a big screen TV; I want a brand new SUV"
That's just good business when you're
Selling out your friends to make a quick buck,
Throwing away your memories and keeping up with the Jones'
All I ask is that you hold me in your heart forever
All you heard was hold me in your heart today
And old Chris Robin... will he be coming back again?
No, he found a new place to play
All I ever wanted was truth
At 10 Jackie Paper promises that we'll always be friends
Then leaves out the cave door never to
Return again. 30 years down the road Jackie Paper
Owns an oil company.
One night its ship hits the rocks off the shore of Honah Lee
Jackie Paper checks the numbers,
And Jackie Paper's profit margins say let it be... as the oil chokes
Off the last of his kind the dragon says:
All I ask is that you hold me in your heart forever
All you heard was hold me in your heart today,
And old Jack Paper... will he be coming back here?
No, he found a new place to play.
All I ever wanted... It seems to me that when things get ripe
They're really rotting.
It seems to me that maybe it's the same with growing up
All I ask is that you hold me in your heart
Forever. All you heard was hold me in your heart today
But all of our old friends...
Will they be coming back again? No, they found a new place to play
All I ever wanted was truth
