When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' 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 wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never wanted
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 my medicine chest
And 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 to be a good boy scout
Cause I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out drinking 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
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna get no big old loan
Theres only one thing I've got to say
That I don't wanna grow up
