When I`m lyin` in my bed at nite
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 the 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...
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 want the biggest amount
No I don`t wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don`t wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin` all night
And I don`t wanna grow up
I`d rather stay here in my room
Nothin` 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 me 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 I get here so soon
No I don`t want to grow up
