WELL, JUST BECAUSE
I'M IN MY TEENS AND
I STILL GO TO SCHOOL
DON'T THINK THAT
I DREAM CHILDISH DREAMS
I'M NOBODY'S FOOL
DON'T MOTHER ME
THAT MAKES ME WILD
AND PLEASE DON'T TREAT ME
LIKE A CHILD
IT'S OFTEN SAID
THAT YOUNGSTERS SHOULD
BE SEEN AND NOT BE HEARD
BUT I WANT YOU TO REALISE
THAT IS QUITE ABSURD
DON'T WANNA BE
SO MEEK AND MILD
SO PLEASE DON'T TREAT ME
LIKE A CHILD
GONNA BE MY OWN ADVISER
'CAUSE MY MIND'S MY OWN
THEN I WILL BE MUCH THE WISER
MY OWN POINT OF VIEW
HAS GOT TO BE KNOWN
THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE
I KNOW ARE THOSE
WHEN I AM YOUNG
AND SINCE I'M SURE
THAT THIS IS SO
GONNA HAVE MY FUN
SO, IF I FEEL
LIKE RUNNING WILD
WELL, PLEASE DON'T TREAT ME
LIKE A CHILD
GONNA BE MY OWN ADVISER
'CAUSE MY MIND'S MY OWN
THEN I WILL BE MUCH THE WISER
MY OWN POINT OF VIEW
HAS GOT TO BE KNOWN
THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE
I KNOW ARE THOSE
WHEN I AM YOUNG
AND SINCE I'M SURE
THAT THIS IS SO
GONNA HAVE MY FUN
SO, IF I FEEL
LIKE RUNNING WILD
WELL, PLEASE DON'T TREAT ME
LIKE A CHILD
DON'T EVER TREAT ME
LIKE A CHILD...
