(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 (solo) 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 dont' 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
