Growing up means being free |
I'm not a teenager any more! I'm all grown up and that's for sure. Now I have to be mature With responsibility to endure! I've got to study, I've got to learn I've got to work, I've got to earn Romance won't make my head turn I can't let my emotions churn. I'm an adult, full of beans In my t-shirt and my blue jeans. Now I know what 'old timer' means I've been there - behind the scenes. I'm an adult, two decades old Going out into the world -- so bold No one to say 'do as you're told' No one to fuss, no one to scold. I cook, I clean, I do each chore I must admit it is a bore Surely there's got to be more Than all these tasks which I abhor? Where are the parties, where's the fun? I'm so tired when the day is done Things just pile up by the ton I tell you, I just want to run! Wish I was home with Mom and Dad With all the warm meals to be had If I could, I'd never be bad I'd never, ever make Mom sad. But clocks tick, the world keeps spinning, I'm not a loser, I'm going to start winning I'm grown up, I'll go rumming and ginning, Hey, do I see you grinning? Yes, I can have some alcohol Get drunk - it's my call From a bottle or a glass so tall I can just have it all But you know the funny thing? All that stuff has lost its zing. True happiness it cannot bring Shall I go back to the apron string? |
