(intro)
While I m lying in my bed at night, I don t wanna grow up
Nothing 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 that price that you pay, I don t want to grow up
I don t ever wanna be that way, I don t wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things they never want to be
The only thing to live for is today
I m gonna put a hole in my tv set, I don t wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest and I don t wanna grow up
I don t wanna have to shout it out
I don t want my hair to fall out
I don t wanna be filled with doubt
I don t wanna be a good boy scout
I don t wanna hafta 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 drinkin all night, I don t wanna grow up
I d rather stay here in my room
Nothing out there but sad and gloom
I don t wanna live in a big ol tomb
on Grand St.
When I see the 5 0 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 ol hometown
Don t wanna put no money down
Don t wanna get a big ol loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don t wanna 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
