When I´m lying in my bed at nite
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 doubt
I 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
