lyrics

GROWING UP

All my high school friends are off in college now.
And I get high and watch TV all day.
Living in my mother’s basement’s really not that bad;
I got everything I need, and I don’t pay.

And I never asked to grow up, so please don’t make me do it.
I wasn’t meant to grow up -- don’t think I’ll make it through it.
Things have been going south since I hit puberty;
It looks like growing up is just too much for me.

I was doing fine when I was still a kid,
Swapping baseball cards and playing ball.
Then came high school classes that I couldn’t understand
And girls who wouldn’t notice me at all.

But I never asked to grow up, so please don’t make me do it.
I wasn’t meant to grow up -- don’t think I’ll make it through it.
Things have been going south since I hit puberty;
It looks like growing up is just too much for me.

When people say I need to make a move,
I just agree with them, but I say, “Not now;
No, not right now.”
And when they say I need to get a life,
I just agree with them, but I don’t know how.
No, I don’t know how…

I never asked to grow up, so please don’t make me do it.
I wasn’t meant to grow up -- don’t think I’ll make it through it.
Things have been going south since I hit puberty;
It looks like growing up is just too much for me.
It looks like growing up is just too much for me.
It looks like growing up is just too much for me.
