I Dont Want To Grow Up (Grow Old)

Where I'm lying my bad night, I don't want to grow old

Nothing ever seems to turn out right, I don't want to grow old

How you move in a world of fog, that's always changing things

Makes me wish that I could be a doll

When I see the price you pay, I don't want to grow old

I don't ever want to be that way. I don't want to grow old.

I've seen the folks turn into things that they never want.

The only thing to live for is today.

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set. I don't want to grow old.

Open up a medicine chest. I don't want to grow up.

I don't want to shout it out, I don't want my hair fall out, I don't want to be full gripped out, I don't want to be a good boy scout, I don't want to learn to count, I don't want to have the biggest amount, and I don't want to grow up.

Well, when I see my parents fightin', I don't wanna grow old

They all go out and drinkin' all night, not a warm roll

I'd rather stay here in my room, nothin' out there but sun and gloom

And I don't wanna live in that big old tomb on Grand Street

And I see the five o'clock news, and I don't wanna grow old

Comb the hair and shine the shoes, and I don't wanna grow old

Stay down in Old Town, I don't wanna put no money down

I don't wanna get a big old loan, work with fingers to the bone

I don't wanna fool the room, fall in love, get married, then BOOM!

How the hell did I get here so soon? I don't want to grow up
