When I Grow Up

(альбом: B-Sides - 2022)

No, no, no

Things you would have if you could
If it had come your way
Don't know when I've got it good
Not the same on your day
Lots of things to make me do
Like learning my lines fast
Hope I never hurt like you
When I think of my past

When I grow up
I won't do the things you do
You want to know what I know
When I grow up
I won't think the way you do
Won't go the way that you go

Same old-fashioned point of view
Show respect to teacher
Think I'll scream till I turn blue
If I hear one more preacher
Sacrifices for my sake
All the price you paid
Prove to God I never make
Same mistakes that you made

When I grow up
I won't do the things you do
You want to know what I know
When I grow up
I won't think the way you do
Won't go the way that you go
When I grow up
I won't say the things you say
I won't put my hand in your glove
When I grow up
I won't play the way you play
Won't love the way that you love

In my interest you didn't know
That I said the same things
Let's just wait and see
What the next generation brings
You'll do what I do
And you'll say what I say
And you'll look at me dreamily
And you'll smile one day

Oh, tomorrow belongs to me
Just believe it, you'll see

When I grow up
I won't do the things you do
You want to know what I know
When I grow up
I won't think the way you do
Won't go the way that you go
When I grow up
I won't say the things you say
Won't put my hand in your glove
When I grow up
I won't play the way you play
Won't love the way that you love
When I grow up
I won't do the things you do
You want to know what I know
When I grow up
I won't think the way you do
Won't go the way that you go
When I grow up...
