They never cared for anybody else at all
They took the words you said and twisted them all up
Nobody else's fault
They prey on you and your intentions

Sure it feels good to hear you're nothing but a loser
Time to talk back cause in this life you are the chooser
You can pick the styles you wear
You can comb your pretty hair how you want to
Live your live through cause you can't lose
When there's nothing left at all

When they say
Don't grow up
Don't grow up to be the person you wanna be
When they say
Don't grow up
Don't grow up to be the person you wanna be
Listen to me now
Listen to me now
Listen to me

It's not Impossible to lead the life you wish
The choice is yours you've only got one life to live
Get to know yourself again
And let go of every apprehension
Not to mention
To pay attention
To what lies inside your heart
When they say
Don't grow up
Don't grow up to be the person you wanna be
When they say
Don't grow up
Don't grow up to be the person you wanna be
Listen to me now
Listen to me now
Listen to me
