Oh, how I wish I were grown up
And only then I’d be allowed makeup
And only then would decisions be mine
And my will would be done without a whine
I’d do all Mother so desperately avoids
Just to taste life without the parental paranoids
And I’d eat all the candy I want
Without a single care or thought
I wish I were grown up
Oh, how I wish I were a child
And only then I wouldn’t be so riled
Over small flaws in my face
And I’d wear dresses of bows and lace
I’d run in fields so carefree
And play with chalk until my hands were like ebony
And I’d sit in the sun all sweaty and hot
And have fun without a worrisome thought
Oh, how I wish I were a child
