When I'm lying' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up,
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up,
How do you move in a world of fog that's
always changing things,
Makes wish that I could be a dog.
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up,
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up,
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want,
The only thing to live for is today.
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up,
Open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up.
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up.
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up,
They all go out and drinking all night
I don't wanna grow up,
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothing' out there but sad and gloom,
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street.
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up,
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up,
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down,
I don't wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone,
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom,
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up.
