I don't want to grow up

When I’m lyin’ 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 wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay I don’t wanna grow up
I don’t ever want to be that way I don’t wanna grow up

Seems that folks turn into things that they
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 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 doubtI don’t wanna be a good boy scout
I don’t wanna 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 grow up
They all go out and drinkin’ all night 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 a big old 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 I don’t wanna grow up
