I don’t wanna grow up.
When I’m lyin’ in my bed at night
I don’t wanna grow up.
Nothin 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 me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don’t wanna grow up.
I dont ever wanna be that way
I don’t wanna grow up.
Seems like folks turn into things
That theyd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today…
Im gonna put a hole in my tv set
I don’t wanna grow up.
Open up the medicine chest
And 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 dont wanna grow up.
They all go out and drinking all night
and I dont wanna grow up.
I’d rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I dont wanna live in a big old tomb
On grand street
When I see the 5 oclock 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 me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don’t wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don’t wanna grow up.
