When you are 14 Justin Bieber will be 23 And you will like brown mustard And you’ll learn to walk in heels And your hair will be long enough To curl like Selena Gomez When you are 16 Justin Bieber will be 25 And you will have to learn to drive around the dark And the moon will still follow you home And the trees will reach out through the rain And the world will start to seem like it is really changing When you are 17 you’ll wear your green dress And your hair trimmed like a diamond Justin Bieber will be 26 and you will ask your mom How old she was when she decided to get married As you lick the mustard dressing from your salad bowl When you are 22 you will drink vodka every day Which will taste bad but you will have to learn to fake it You won’t know anybody’s names but you will lie You will not eat the hors d’oeuvres but collect the toothpicks You will not eat the cake but you will prick all 31 balloons hung up for Justin Bieber’s special day
