(Wow wow) You know I'm almost grown (Wow wow) Yeah 'n' I'm doin' all right in school They ain't said I broke no rule I ain't never been in Dutch I don't browse around too much Don't bother me, leave me alone Anyway I'm almost grown I don't run around with no mob Got myself a little job I'm gonna buy me a little car, Drive my girl in the park Don't bother just leave us alone Anyway we're almost grown Got my eye on a little girl Ah, she's really out of this world When I take her to the dance, She's got to talk about romance Don't bother just leave us alone Anyway we're almost grown You know I'm still livin' in town But I done married and settled down Now I really have a ball So I don't browse around at all Don't bother just leave us alone Anyway we're almost grown
