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 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. Work them fingers to the bone. I don't wanna float on a broom. Fall in love get married then boom. How the hell dis I get here so soon. No I don't want to grow up
