Don't Treat Me Like A Child

Don't Treat Me Like A Child - Helen Shapiro

Written by：John Schroeder/Mike Hawker

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
