I Dont Want To Grow Up

When I'm lying in my bed at night, I don't want to grow up.

Nothing ever seems to turn out right, and I don't want to grow up.

How do you move in a world with thought that's always changing things?

Makes me 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, and I don't want to grow up.

Since that folks turned into things that they never want,

the only thing to live for is today.

I'm going to put a hole in my TV set, I don't want to grow up.

Opening 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 head 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 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 drinking all night and I don't want to grow up.

I'd rather stay here in my room, nothing out there but sand and glue. I don't want to live in a big

old tomb on Grand Street. When I see the five o'clock news, I don't want to grow up.

I don't want to grow up on their hair and shiny shoes, I don't want to grow up.

Stay a friend in my old hometown, I don't want to put no money down, I don't want to

get an ethical loan, work little things to the bone.

I don't want to float on a balloon, fall in love, get married, then move.

How the hell did I get it so soon, though, I don't want to grow up.
