Tom Waits – I Don't Wanna Grow Up Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Bone Machine

(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)

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 TV set
I don^,t wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don^,t wanna grow up
I don^,t wnna 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 Grow Up lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/t/tom-waits/i-dont-wanngrow-up/ ]
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 and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don^,t wanna grow up
