Well, when I'm lying in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up I'd love to never see me turn out right, I don't wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog, always changing things? Makes me wish that I could be a dog Well, when I see the price of your pain, I don't wanna grow up I don't ever wanna be that way, I don't wanna grow up Seems like folks turn into things that they never want, the only thing to live for is today I'm holding up my TV set, I don't wanna grow up I'm holding up a medicine chest, I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna have to shout it out, I don't want my head 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 I've been thinking all night that I don't wanna grow up I'd rather stay here in my room with nothing out there but sand and glue I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grand Street Oh, when I see the five o'clock news, I don't wanna grow up They comb their hair and shine their shoes, I don't wanna grow up Stayin' around in my old hometown, I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get me a big old loan, work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna throw the broom, fall in love and get married then boom How the hell did it get here so soon? I don't wanna grow up
