Don't Treat Me Like a Child lyrics

Well, just because I'm in my teens

And I still go to school

Don't think that I dream childish 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

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

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!
