When will I ever grow up...
Says the innocence of the child
I want to experience all there is in life
And I want to experience it now
When will I ever grow up...
Says the newly developed teen
I've just stepped out childhood
Ready to live the life I've dreamed
When will I ever grow up...
The nineteen year old says
They tell me to vote, send me to war
Yet still call me a kid
When will I ever grow up...
Says the twenty something wife
Like I saw in my mother
At this stage in her life
When will I ever grow up...
Little did she know her mother said
When she was also that twenty something
As she gazed at life ahead
When will I ever grow up...
Asks the forty year old divorcee
And will I find someone mature enough
To fill my wants and needs
When will I ever grow up...
I ask myself time and time again
I just hope and pray it happens
As I'm fast approaching the end
When will I ever grow up...
Says the old man on his death bed
It's got to happen soon
As he expels his last dying breath

When will I ever grow up...
Says the innocence of the child
I want to experience all there is in life
And I want to experience it now
When will I ever grow up...
Says the newly developed teen
I've just stepped out childhood
Ready to live the life I've dreamed
When will I ever grow up...
The nineteen year old says
They tell me to vote, send me to war
Yet still call me a kid
When will I ever grow up...
Says the twenty something wife
Like I saw in my mother
At this stage in her life
When will I ever grow up...
Little did she know her mother said
When she was also that twenty something
As she gazed at life ahead
When will I ever grow up...
Asks the forty year old divorcee
And will I find someone mature enough
To fill my wants and needs
When will I ever grow up...

I just hope and pray it happens
As I'm fast approaching the end
When will I ever grow up...
Says the old man on his death bed
It's got to happen soon
As he expels his last dying breath
