I wish I was ambitious Can't stand the heat so I get up out the kitchen Can't even do the dishes Wish I had some luck Wish I wasn't superstitious Did I mention it? I'm addicted, addicted to attention I get sad when I don't get a lot of mentions I got two ears, but I hear they don't listen Got 99 problems, but still no bitches (damn!) Maybe I can find some peace of mind But the older I get, the harder it's to find When I grow up I won't have to worry if I'm good enough I won't have to think about myself too much And I can have a drink if I wanna get drunk When I grow up When I grow up Can't wait for the day That I feel okay I just wanna be like the kid I was When I grow up All my friends are getting married I can't afford a ring Let alone these fuckin' weddings Plus I can't find a girl to marry They say I got time, but like, time is fuckin' scary, man They always be comparing me to him and her When that just isn't fair to me You know I'm not a kid so why you kiddin' me? You say my bad habits are annoyin' But I don't play with toys, so why you toyin'? Maybe I can find some peace of mind But the older I get, the harder it's to find When I grow up I won't have to worry if I'm good enough I won't have to think about myself too much And I can have a drink if I wanna get drunk When I grow up When I grow up Can't wait for the day That I feel okay I just wanna be like the kid I was When I grow up Will someone explain Why things didn't change? I thought I would've had it all figured out by now
