While 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 me wish that I could be a dog
When I see that price that you pay I don't want to grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way I don't wanna grow up

Seems that folks turn into things they never want to be
The only thing to live for is today


I'm 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 hafta learn to count I don't want the biggest amount

No I don't want to grow up


When I see my parents fight I don't want to grow up
They all go out and drinkin 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 ol tomb on Grand St.

When I see the 5 0' 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 ol hometown Don't wanna put no money down

Don't wanna get a big ol loan Work them fingers to the bone

I dont' wanna float on a broom Fall in love get married then boom

how the hell did it get here so soon

No I don't want to grow up
