Do you remember when we said "let's pretend"?
Do you remember those days would never end?
Let's remember when we cried from our laughs
Let's see if we can get them back

With dogs and cats and princes and pools
When all we wanted was to be in high school
And our imaginations were everlasting
When our worlds knew of nothing nasty

Let's remember these days of fun
And never forget how far we could run
When life seemed like forever
Let's be silly, let's remember

Forget? Never. We can't go back
It's so true that time flies fast
First Barbies, then Bratz, and princesses too
I can remember those sacred days with you

Can you remember when boys had cooties?
And we had bikes and scooters?
Let's remember painting masks
Let's see if we can get it back

Complete with fake make-up and jewelry
And we played dress-up and had tea parties
Stuffed animals were all we had
When we were feeling down and sad

Let's remember these days of fun
And never forget how far we could run
When life seemed like forever
Let's be silly, let's remember

Forget? Never. We can't go back
It's so true that time flies fast
First Barbies, then Bratz, and princesses too
I can remember those sacred days with you

I love how we had no worries
I miss how everything was furry
We knew that cats would say "purr" and
Dogs went "bark" and birds chirped "tweet"

I loved those sacred days then
I want those sacred days now
I give those sacred days a ten
They'll never have to take a bow

'Cause I remember those days of fun
And never forgot we tanned in the sun
When life felt like its end was never
When we were crazy, i remember

Forget? How could I? I can't have it back
I wish that time didn't fly so fast
Once princesses, now drama queens and teens
Do you remember those sacred days with me?

Let's remember these days of fun
And never forget how far we could run
When life seemed like forever
Let's be silly, let's remember

Forget? Never. We can't go back
It's so true that time flies fast
First Barbies, then Bratz, and princesses too
I can remember those sacred days with you

Can you recall those crazy days now?
Do you remember our magical ways out?
