I Don't Want to Grow Up
Why I can't find, however I try, a rose that never fadesWhy all the princes I've met are not really prince-likeI don't expect him to have crystal shoes and a white horseI'm only astonished how lovers' sweet words could turn into lies
Why blue birds of happiness always fly so highWhy both apples and embraces could be poisonI never thought that even with him I'd feel horribly lonelySuddenly I'm thinking of that doll who accompanied me when I was a girl
I don't want to, I don't want to, don't want to grow upWhen I grow up, the world is deprived of fairy talesI don't want to, I don't want to, don't want to grow upI'd rather remain dumb foreverI don't want to, I don't want to, don't want to grow upWhen I grow up, I'll lose himHe who I loves deeply, he who loves me deeply,Has changed into someone unlike him
I don't want to, I don't want to, don't want to grow upWhen I grow up, the world is deprived of fairy talesI don't want to, I don't want to, don't want to grow upI'd rather remain dumb foreverI don't want to, I don't want to, don't want to grow upWhen I grow up, I'll lose himHe who I loves deeply, he who loves me deeply,How can he fall in love with someone else
Why it can't be seen in the crystal ball that he's changingWhy there's no laughter in the end but tears washing down the faceI'd love to remain quietly sleeping before he comes backBut he has arrived at another castle and kissed someone else
Why my wishes against falling stars never came trueWhy gallant knights could be more dangerous than dragonsSure I know that the world won't be perfectI only pray that love won't be so complicated
Shall we go back to the pastInnocent, dumb, happy and beautiful...
