Children
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Children we're acting like children instead of like a man and a fullgrown woman
We're acting like babies little bitty babies
And we're about to throw away a lifetime of good good loving
Love is not a game love is not a toy I'm not a little girl and you're not a little boy
But if we're not careful we're gonna destroy
A fairy tale that might have come true
By acting like children little bitty children
And we're about to throw away a lifetime of good good loving
Once upon a time we didn't fight everything was beautiful everything was right
And we make love instead of war every night
And I wanna go back to the good times
Stop acting like children little bitty children
Start acting like a man and a fullgrown woman
We're acting like babies little bitty babies
Cause we're about to throw away a lifetime of good good loving
