I Won't Grow Up

I won't grow up I don't wanna go to school Just to learn to be a puppet And recite a silly rule If growing up means it would be Beneath my dignity to climb a tree I won't grow up, won't grow up Won't grow up, not me I won't grow up I don't wanna wear a tie Or a serious expression In the middle of July And if it means that I must prepare To shoulder burdens with a worried air I'll never grow up, won't grow up Never gonna grow up, so there Never gonna be a man, I won't Like to see somebody try and make me Anyone who wants to try And make me turn into a man Catch me if you can 'Cause I won't grow up I don't wanna wear a tie And a serious expression And try to act just like a guy 'Cause growing up's awfuller than All the awful things that ever been And I won't grow up, won't grow up I won't grow up again Growing up's awfuller than All of the awful things that ever been And I won't grow up, I'll never grow up I'll never grow up again, not me, not I
