When I`m lyin` in my bed at night
I don`t want to grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don`t want to grow up

How do you move in a world of fog that`s
Always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay
I don`t want to grow up
I don`t ever want to be that way
I don`t want to 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 want to grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don`t want to grow up

I don`t want to have to shout it out
I don`t want my hair to fall out
I don`t want to be filled with doubt
I don`t want to be a good boy scout
I don`t want to have to learn to count
I don`t want to have the biggest amount
I don`t want to grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don`t want to grow up
They all go out and drinkin` all night
I don`t want to grow up

I`d rather stay here in my room
Nothin` out there but sad and gloom
I don`t want to live in a big old tomb on
Grand street
When I see the 5 o`clock news
I don`t want to grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don`t want to grow up

Stay around in my old hometown
I don`t want to put no money down
I don`t want to get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don`t want to float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon

I don`t want to grow up
