[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I try to satisfy every person, every need
I end up pretending I'm someone else
And this someone, it ain't me

[Chorus]
They say, "It's time for you to grow up
'Cause you can't go on like this
Just get a life like everyone else
You can't stay forever a kid" (I'd say)
"But I don't wanna grow up
Shit is perfect the way it is
Don't wanna be like everyone else
So I'll stay forevеr a kid"

[Verse]
Me and my friends got our own little family
And wе don't care for the rules too much
Me and my friends, we get into all kinds of shit
And some haters can't handle us
They can't stand that I play by my own rules
They see red when I'm making my old tunes
Somebody told me, "Act your own age fool"
But I forgot my own age, sir

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I tryna fit in with society
People say something's wrong with me
I guess the world ain't what it's used to be
So I'll stay in my fantasy
[Chorus]
They say, "It's time for you to grow up
'Cause you can't go on like this
Just get a life like everyone else
You can't stay forever a kid" (I'd say)
"But I don't wanna grow up
Shit is perfect the way it is
Don't wanna be like everyone else
So I'll stay forever a kid"

[Bridge]
I need nobody to teach me who to be
So if you tell me I gotta grow up, I just gotta disagree
And I need nobody to tell me what to do
'Cause life is much better from a childish point of view
No, I need nobody to teach me who to be
So if you tell me I gotta grow up, I just gotta disagree
And I need nobody to tell me what to do
'Cause life is much better from a childish point of view

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I try to satisfy every person, every need
I end up pretending I'm someone else
And this someone, it ain't me
[Chorus]
They say, "It's time for you to grow up
'Cause you can't go on like this
Just get a life like everyone else
You can't stay forever a kid"
"But I don't wanna grow up
Shit is perfect the way it is
Don't wanna be like everyone else
So I'll stay forever a kid"
