When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right

I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
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 wanna gow up

I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up


Seems like folks turn into things that they'd 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
And I don't wanna gow up

I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout

I don't wannt have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up


Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna gow up

They all go out and drinking 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 a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon

I don't wanna grow up
