i don`t wanna grow up

When i`m lyin`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 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 TV 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 want to 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 bloom
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, work them fingers to the bone
I don`t wanna float on a broom, fall in love, get married then boom
how the helldid it get here so soon.

I don`t want to grow up.
