O please don't make me,
I really don't wanna,
Your only young once,
Isn't that the story?
Don't grow up too fast,
Live life while your young,
It wont happen again,
I don't wanna grow up!
O please don't make me,
I really don't wanna,
crawl out of bed,
and go to work.
Driving so fast,
So far and too long,
For far less pay,
Than I really deserve.
O please don't make me,
I really don't wanna,
30's the new 20,
I don't wanna grow up!
I wanna be young,
forever and ever,
and now I know,
It's already over!
Where did it go?
I sit and wonder,
how I got old,
and why I have wrinkles,
O please take me back,
to my younger days,
I don't Wanna grow up,
I wanna be younger!

I want to be a girl,
Yet I'm forced into womanhood.
I must seem like a fool.
By so many I'm misunderstood.
If I act like who
I'm a big girl now
I can walk on my own
with every step that I take
I'm making the world my home
I'm a big girl now
Don't tell
by Bobby Coles
Maturity comes at a cost
Our youth slowly fades
New fears arise
Life isn't all parades
Our bodies change
We don't recognize
