I Don't Wanna Grow Up Songtext
von Beatsteaks

When I′m lying 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 wanna be that way
And I don′t wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd 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
No, I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don′t wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up

I′d rather stay here in my room
Nothing 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 me a big old loan, work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom, fall in love and get married, then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon?

No, I don′t wanna grow up
