DON’T TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD 
(Hawker / Schroeder)
Helen Shapiro


Well, just because I’m in my teens
And I still go to school
Don’t think that I been 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 realise 
That it’s 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
Gotta have my fun
So if I feel like running wild
Well, please don’t treat me like a child

(Rep from ^ to end)

Don’t ever treat me like a child
