When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up nothin' 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 the price that you pay I don't wanna gow up I don't ever wanna be that way I don't wanna grow up Seems like folks turn into things that they'd 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 and I don't wanna gow up I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wannt 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 gow up they all go out and drinking all night and 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 me a big old loan work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float a broom fall in love and get married then boom how the hell did it get here so soon I don't wanna grow up
