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 realize 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 minds 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 dont treat me like a child Gonna be my own adviser 'Cause my minds 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
