Lyrics Don't Treat Me Like a Child - Helen Shapiro

Well, just because I'm in my teens
And I still go to school
Don't think that I dream childlish 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 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
