I Don't Want To Grow Up (Tom Waits / Kathteen Brennan)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 Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float in a broom Fall in love, get married then boom How the hell did it get here so soon I don't wanna grow up |
