I Don’t Want to Grow Up

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] How do you move in a world of fog That's always changing things? Makes me wish that I could be a dog [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Seems that folks turn into things That they never want The only thing to live for is today [Verse 3] I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set I don't want to grow up Open up the medicine chest I don't want to grow up [Chorus] 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 the biggest amount No, I don't want to grow up [Verse 4] Well, 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 [Chorus] I'd rather stay here in my room Nothing out there but sad and gloom I don't want to live in a big old tomb on Grand Street [Verse 5] 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 wanna grow up [Chorus] 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? No, I don't want to grow up
