Tom Waits - I Don't Wanna Grow Up

Tom Waits

I Don't Wanna Grow Up

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 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
and I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't wanna 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 wannt 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 drinking all night
and 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 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
I don't wanna grow up

Mirror lyrics:

I don't wanna grow up
how the hell did it get here so soon
fall in love and get married then boom
I don't wanna float a broom
work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
I don't wanna put no money down
stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna grow up
comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
When I see the 5 o'clock news

on Grand Street
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I'd rather stay here in my room
and I don't wanna grow up
they all go out and drinking all night
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight

I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wannt have to learn to count
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna my hair to fall out
I don't wanna have to shout it out
and I don't wanna grow up
open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
the only thing to live for is today...
Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want

I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
when I see the price that you pay
makes me wish that I could be a dog
that's always changing things
how do you move in a world of fog
I don't wanna grow up
nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
