Dorbees – I Wanna Be Grown Up Lyrics

Artist: Dorbees
Song: I Wanna Be Grown Up

C’mon, Mary Jane! I mean, live a little! What do we got to lose, anyway?
I don’t know, Jack, that house still scares me!
Ah, come on! You know, we’re eight years old!
What have we got to show for it?

No credit card
No beard
No car!
Well at least not yet

And look at that old house!
‘Bout ready to fall apart
Seems like a good place to start
No other Dorbee’s ever been this far!

What we need is a running start
To show that we’re not kids
Something inside that scary old house
Might be our ticket in

I wanna be grown up!
I ain’t a kid no more
I was when I was four
But that was long ago!

I wanna be grown up!
No school
No arithmetic!
That stuff just makes me sick

‘Cause I wanna be grown up!
Yeah?Yeah!
Well, I kinda know what you mean
You do? Yeah

I mean, growing up’s always seemed to be trying to make into something I’m not
Well, you know my mom? Uh-huh
She made me wear a dress (Eugh)
I was Auntie Myrtle’s flower girl

And what a mess! (Wow, what happened?)
Walkin’ down the aisle (Uh-huh)
Tripped over Uncle Howard’s boot (Mm)
And my dress went “WOOP!”

And everybody laughed and said
“Oh, how cute!”
Remember “Yes, ma’am” and “Thank you”, please
And courtesy on your way out

What I need is a little freedom
To see what life’s about
I wanna be grown up! (Yeah, you got it!)
No curlies

No hair-berets
Doesn’t matter if I get wet
‘Cause now I’m on my own
I wanna be grown up!

And put away all my dolls
I’m just a ball
Who wants to be grown up
I wanna be grown up!

And I ain’t a kid no more
I was when I was four
But that was long ago!
I wanna be grown up!

It’s all for one and one for all
We’re just balls
Who wanna be grown up
Hey, yeah yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah
I wanna be grown up!
Hey, yeah yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah

I wanna be grown up!
Hey, yeah yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
