...being created from the love of God and continually being loved by God are not enough for us. We want and also absolutely depend on the explicit confirmation by others of the life given us by God. We need God's love for us to be met, confirmed, and extended by the love and affirmation of others. That is why when people feel unloved by others, it is little consolation to tell them that they are loved by God.'
Paul Waddel
When Im lyin in my bed at night I dont wanna grow up Nothin ever seems to turn out right I dont wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog Thats always changing things Makes me wish that I could be a dog When I see the price that you pay I dont wanna grow up I dont ever wanna be that way I dont wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things That theyd never want The only thing to live for Is today... Im gonna put a hole in my tv set I dont wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest And I dont wanna grow up I dont wanna have to shout it out I dont want my hair to fall out I dont wanna be filled with doubt I dont wanna be a good boy scout I dont wanna have to learn to count I dont wanna have the biggest amount I dont wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight I dont wanna grow up They all go out and drinking all night And I dont wanna grow up Id rather stay here in my room Nothin out there but sad and gloom I dont wanna live in a big old tomb On grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news I dont wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I dont wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I dont wanna put no money down I dont wanna get me a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I dont wanna float a broom Fall in love and get married then boom How the hell did I get here so soon I dont wanna grow up

I Don't Wanna Grow Up
(by Tom Waits)
When Im lyin in my bed at night
I dont wanna grow up
Nothin ever seems to turn out right
I dont wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
Thats always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I dont wanna grow up
I dont ever wanna be that way
I dont wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That theyd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
Im gonna put a hole in my tv set
I dont wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I dont wanna grow up
I dont wanna have to shout it out
I dont want my hair to fall out
I dont wanna be filled with doubt
I dont wanna be a good boy scout
I dont wanna have to learn to count
I dont wanna have the biggest amount
I dont wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I dont wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I dont wanna grow up
Id rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I dont wanna live in a big old tomb
On grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I dont wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I dont wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I dont wanna put no money down
I dont wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I dont wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I dont wanna grow up
