i'm just a lonely boy

with fears dreams tears and joy

a mystic child

i wanna be a star

a man with all the power

of the ultimate mind

i want to wear sunglasses and be not understood

i want to have an epitaph in Hollywood

sometimes i don't wanna try

sometimes i don't wanna cry

don't grow up too, don't grow up too fast

i'm still a lonely boy

with fears dreams tears and joy

a mystic child

i wanna be a star

a man with all the power

of the ultimate mind

i want to have a big red car a blonde girl by my side

i want to call my kids John and Marilyn

sometimes i don't wanna try

sometimes i don't wanna cry

don't grow up too, don't grow up too fast
