The Child In Me
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.
I might look a certain age
But this book has some missing pages
Got the introduction right
But I've been stuck on it for ages
I might sit and look like you
But I can't do the things you do
The years belie my true conviction
This life is a work of fiction
You must not leave me in this company
I think they'll know that they've got years on me
Oh they will find me out most certainly
Cause they will surely see the child in me
If this is what we're calling fun
I think I'll use this chance to run
Instead of making conversation
I really do not have the patience
How do I get qualified?
I act completely horrified
When hearing tales that honestly
I would have told myself you see
You must not leave me in this company
I think they'll know that they've got years on me
Oh they will find me out most certainly
Cause they will surely see the child in me
I really think you know me better
I really think you know me better
Won't you stay just a little while longer?
Won't you stay 'till I feel a bit stronger?
I really think you know me better
I really think you know me better
Won't you stay just a little while longer?
Won't you stay 'till I feel a bit stronger?
You must not leave me in this company
I think they'll know that they've got years on me
Oh they will find me out most certainly
Cause they will surely see the child in me
(Oh they will surely see the child in me)
(Oh they will surely see the child in me)
(Oh they will surely see the child in me)
