I Don't Wanna Grow Up
When I'm laying in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
And 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 don't ever wanna be that way
And I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
That they never want
The only thing to live for is today, yeah
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV 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 want the biggest amount
No, I don't want to grow up
That's right
When I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out drinkin' all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
And I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grand Street
When I see the five 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 me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love and get married, then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon?
No, I don't want to grow up
No, I don't want to grow up
No, I don't want to grow up
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
And 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 don't ever wanna be that way
And I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
That they never want
The only thing to live for is today, yeah
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV 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 want the biggest amount
No, I don't want to grow up
That's right
When I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out drinkin' all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
And I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grand Street
When I see the five 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 me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love and get married, then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon?
No, I don't want to grow up
No, I don't want to grow up
No, I don't want to grow up
