Children call each other names
Children playing grown-up games

I've just gotten older
I've just gotten taller
And the little ones
They call me a grownup.

If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.

Sandra Dodd said...

Come back when you grow up, girl
You're still living in a paper-doll world

Probably Gary Puckett, but I'm not sure without looking

Sally Lopez said...

I won't grow up
I don't wanna wear a tie
Or a serious expression
In the middle of July

from "Peter Pan"

I don't wanna grow up
I'm a Toys R Us kid

The student body’s got
a bad reputation
what they need is
adult education...

Dotty in NSW said...

And now that you've grown up
Enough to know
You wanna leave me
You wanna let me go

Old enough now to change your name;
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

--Neil Young, maybe? I don't know the name of the song. A memory of hearing it on the radio.

"My mommy says it's my imagination playing tricks,
but what does she know? she's all grownup, I know because I'm six!

There's an alien in my closet and a ghost behind the door..."

--Monsters in the Night,Diana G. Gallagher

No more lives torn apart
that wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
and everyone would have a friend
and right would always win
and love would never end
this is my grown up Christmas list

---Amy Grant

We fuss, we fret,
But there may be a chance for us yet
'Cause grownups used to be kids one day

{I can't believe it took me so long to think of this song considering I usually hear it several times a week on my iPod! Must be old age catching up :) }
