i don't wanna grow up (2023 remaster) - tom waits lyrics
[verse 1]
well, when i’m lyin’ in my bed at night
i don’t wanna grow up
nothin’ ever seem 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
[verse 2]
well, 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
seem like folks turn into things
that they’d never want
the only thing to live for is today
[bridge]
i’m gonna put a hole in my tv 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 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
[verse 3]
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, ooh
[outro]
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
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 h*ll did it get here so soon?
i don’t wanna grow up
