I do not want to complain from ear to ear
look if whoever leads me gets not so near
deny the reflection that i leave in my mirror
neither house the rancor between eyebrow and eyebrow
I do not want to keep so many secrets
neither to be confronted in a scene so grotesque
as did the Montagues and the Capulets
I do not want at your age to become obsolete
Neither lose vigor not to say without rigor
that all the past time has always been better
neither get to my home dazed and upset
I do not want to be tired of carrying myself
And though this truth may hurt,
I have to say it, without pleasing
but if I offend, I apologize
when I grow up, I don't wanna be like you
Don't wanna make the same mistakes than you
neither believe that everyone is a crook
I don't wanna handle the same values than you
neither that every day resembles the previous
I don't want to be unable to control my ire
neither to hold that sorrow in the eyes
wet and red, worn and lame
I do not want myself to be my remains
Neither vehemently cast blame on the others
of what is my concern and responsibility
neither to happen to try in some stupid deed
what I could not do when I was 23
And though this truth may hurt,
I have to say it, without pleasing
but if I offend, I apologize
when I grow up, I don't wanna be like you
I do not want that there be nothing to please me
neither to hate yesterday whenever pain touches me
neither to look old photos and get to mourn
or that I hear someone's name and start to throb
I do not want to go on with that life battered
with suspicions of fraud and illusion shattered
neither to go throwing pests believing I am Apollo
nor to worry being on a special date solo
And even though this may lead to misinterpretation
I do not want people to believe it is only to criticize
and I hope that this be only a statement
cause even I don't know if I want you to want to be like me
And though this truth may hurt,
I have to say it, without pleasing
but if I offend, I apologize
when I grow up, I don't wanna be like you
And though this truth may hurt,
I have to say it, without pleasing
but if I offend, I apologize
when I grow up ...
