When I 'm lyin' in my bed at night I don' t wanna grow up
N othin' ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up
H ow do you move in a w orld of fog that's always changing things
M akes me wish that I could be a dog
W hen I see the price that y ou pay I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow u p
S eems like folks turn into things that th ey'd never want
T he only thing to live for is today
I 'm gonna put a hole in my tv set I don't wanna grow u p
Open up the medicine chest and I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it o ut (repeat for next section)
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 wan na grow up
W ell when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow u p
They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't wanna grow up
I 'd rather stay here in my ro om
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old t omb on Grant Street
W hen 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
S tay around in my old homet own
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
all in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wan na grow up
