While 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 that price that you pay, I don't want to grow up                                    
I don't ever wanna be that way, I don't wanna grow up                                          
                                                                                                
   Seems that folks turn into things they never want to be                                     
   The only thing to live for is today
