When you're little, you dream of being a grown-up.
One day I'll be like Dad and Mom,
I'll go to work, I'll have children.
Growing up is a long way away.
They say if I want to make it
I have to be good at school
and you're not shaping your future
in a detention room.
They say school teaches you life,
but nobody ever asked me
if I liked it or not or wanted
to settle in another way.
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
When you're little you see the big picture1,
like good guys and bad guys in the movies,
and then you learn that things have a price.
It's not in front of screens that you learn about life.
I can see that, when you're a woman
you have to accept everything,
obey to the stronger
and put up with everything.
What I want is lovers, not masters,
coz I don't want to submit myself.
Being a woman is too complicated,
I'd like to keep on dreaming.
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
...... not growing up
......
You have to be strong and responsible,
not much room left for carefreeness.
Had I known that, I would have taken the time
to linger a bit more in my childhood.
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
.... how should I do not to ....
grow up?
...... not growing up
...... I don't want to grow up oh ...
...... I don't want to grow up oh ...
1. the idiom is not very clear here. Maybe it's a kind of pun on the literal meaning ("you see things like a grown-up") but that does not really make sense to me either way. Apparently from the context it's supposed to mean "you think everything is clear-cut"
