Don't Treat Me Like A Child lyrics by Helen Shapiro

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.
I don't wanna be so meek and mild,
so please don't treat me
like a child.

Gonna be my own advisor
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 advisor
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.
