I Won't Grow Up

And I said I won't grow up I don't wanna go to school Just to learn to be a puppet And recite a silly rule 'Cause growing up is awfuller than All the awful things I have, have been now I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up 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 won't grow up, won't grow up, won't 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 Then here I am 'Cause I won't grow up I don't wanna wear a tie And a serious expression Start to act like a guy Because growing up is just awfuller than All of the awful things you never been Don't grow up, don't grow up, don't grow up Again 'Cause, growing up, is awfuller than All of the awful things I have never been like I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up Again Not me Not I You are listening to Hot Ticket on CBC This is Rickie Lee Jones Recorded live at Convocation Hall in Toronto Thank you everybody
