When I'm lyin' in my bed at night nI don't wanna grow up nNothin' ever seems nTo turn out right nI don't wanna grow up nnHow do you move in a world of fog nThat's always changing things nMakes me wish that I could be a dog nnWhen I see the price that you pay nI don't wanna grow up nI don't ever wanna be that way nI don't wanna grow up nnSeems like folks turn into things nThat they'd never want nThe only thing to live for is today nnPut a hole in my T.V. set nI don't wanna grow up nOpen up the medicine chest nI don't wanna grow up nnI don't wanna have to shout it out nI don't want my hair to fall outnI don't wanna be filled with doubt nI don't wanna be a good boy scout nI don't wanna have to learn to count nI don't wanna have the biggest amount nI don't wanna grow up nnWhen I see my parents fight nI don't wanna grow up nThey all go out and drinking all night nAnd I don't wanna grow up nnI'd rather stay here in my room nNothin' out there but sad and gloom nI don't wanna live in a big old tomb nOn Grand Street nnWhen I see the 5 o'clock news nI don't wanna grow up nComb their hair and shine their shoes nI don't wanna grow up nnStay around in my old hometown nI don't wanna put no money down nI don't wanna get me a big old loan nWork them fingers to the bone nI don't wanna float a broom nFall in love and get married then boom nHow the hell did I get here so soon nI don't wanna grow up
