Don’t Treat Me Like A Child Songtext / Lyric

Well just because I’m seventeen
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’s quite absurd
Don’t wanna be
So meek and mild
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 opinion of you 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 opinion of you 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
