Verse:
I don't want to grow old,
I don't want to grow weak.

As more time passes me by,
My future looks bleak.


I'll be moving slower,
and cannot bend over.
As I become more blind,

I will be losing my mind.

Chorus:

I don't want to grow up.
I don't want to be sensible.
I don't want to calm down

I don't want to be responsible.
I don't want to grow up.


Verse:
To reach an age where I can't walk home.
To lose my eyesight and have a chrome dome.

Must read everything 'cause I'll be deaf
To not know what is right and left.


If I had to live in a retirement home.
My relatives get to watch me foam.
I would hate to be a burden.

You can kill me now. Close the curtain.

Chorus:

I don't want to grow up.
I don't want to be sensible.
I don't want to calm down

I don't want to be responsible.

Bridge:

We are dying flowers.
Born to bloom then fade away.


Chorus:
I don't want to grow up.
I don't want to be sensible.

I don't want to calm down
I don't want to be responsible.
