Текст пісні
When I'm lying in my bed at night
I don't want to grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't want to 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 want to grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't want to grow up
Seems like folks turn into things that they never want
Only thing to live for is today
Don't put a hole in my tv set
And I don't want to grow up
Open up that medicine chest
And I don't want to grow up
I don't want to have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't want to be filled with doubt
I don't want to be a good boy scout
I don't want to have to 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 drinking all night
And I don't want to grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothing out there but sad and gloom
I don't want to live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't want to grow up
Comb their hair, shine their shoes
And I don't want to grow up
Stay around in my old home town
I don't want to put no money down
I don't want to get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't want to have to float no broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
No I don't want to grow up
