. If I woke up in the mornin' And the world was back to front There was sunshine in the evenin' And the moon came out for lunch . I wouldn't mind walkin' backwards with you At least we'd always know where we'd be goin' to We could talk till we forget how to talk . And we could learn to laugh again Like when we were children We could learn to dance again Like nobody is watchin' . If everyone was gettin' young There'd be a smile on your face If all the friends that passed away Came back to this place . We'd be puttin' down the daisies Drinkin' milk and feelin' lazy There's no sense in any senses What's the use in independence? . We could play of the tears that came We could walk till we forget how to walk And cool till we forget anything at all . And we would laugh again Like when we were children We could learn to dance again Like nobody is watchin' . We could learn to look right Into each others eyes 'Cause we got nothin' to hide . We got nothin' but to laugh again Like when we were children Like when we were children . Back to front, front to back Will you come backwards with me Backwards with me? . Front to back, back to front Will you come backwards with me Backwards with me? . We could learn to laugh again Like when we were children We could learn to dance again Like nobody is watchin' . We could learn to laugh again Like when we were children We could learn to smile again Like nobody is watchin' . Backwards with me
