Lyrics:

Well, just because I'm in my teens
And I still go to school
Don't think that I dream childlish 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
Gotta be my own adviser
'Cause my mind's 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
Gonna be my own adviser
'Cause my mind's 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
