Lyrics

[00:12.76] I feel just like a child...
[00:32.08] Well I feel just like a child
[00:40.37] Yeah I feel just like a child
[00:44.67] Well I feel just like a child
[00:49.17] Well I feel just like a child
[00:53.42] From my womb to my tomb
[00:55.46] I guess I'll always be a child
[01:01.57] Well Some people try and treat me like a man
[01:05.99] Yeah some people try and treat me like a man
[01:11.07] Well I just they just don't understand
[01:15.92] Yeah some people try and treat me like a man
[01:19.47] They think I know shit
[01:21.96] But that's just it
[01:24.23] I'm a child
[01:28.53] Well I need you to tell me what to wear
[01:32.36] Yeah I need you to help and comb my hair
[01:37.28] Yeah I need you to come and tie my shoes
[01:41.45] Yeah I need you to come and keep me amused
[01:45.93] From my cave to my grave
[01:47.93] I guess I'll always be a child
[01:54.62] Well I need you to help me reach the door
[01:58.56] And I need you to walk me to the store
[02:03.00] And I need you to please explain the war
[02:07.62] And I need you to heal me when I'm sore
[02:12.30] You can tell by my smile
[02:15.38] That I'm a child
[02:21.31] And I need you to sit me on your lap
[02:24.59] And I need you to make me take my nap
[02:29.42] Could you first pull out a book and
[02:31.67] Read me some of that
[02:34.28] Cause I need you to make me take my nap
[02:47.09] And I need you to recognize my friends
[02:51.72] Cause they're there even though
[02:55.90] You don't see them
[02:56.71] They got their own chair, plate, and a seat
[02:59.89] You know I won't touch my food
[03:02.37] Unless they eat
[03:04.81] From the roof to the floor
[03:06.53] I crawl around some more
[03:09.20] I'm a child
[03:13.20] Yeah I need you to help me blow my nose
[03:17.66] And I need you to help me count my toes
[03:22.07] And I need you to help me put on my clothes
[03:26.72] And I need you to hide it when it shows
[03:31.16] From be my daddy's sperm
[03:33.63] To being packed in an urn
[03:35.62] I'm a child
[03:40.26] And when I steal you gotta
[03:41.75] Slap me til I cry
[03:44.44] Don't you stop til the tears run dry
[03:48.33] See I was born thinking under the sky
[03:51.35] I didn't belong to a couple of old wise guys
[03:57.71] From sucking on my mama's breast
[03:59.63] To when they lay my soul to rest
[04:01.66] I'm a child
[04:07.48] Well I guess I'm always be
[04:13.91] A little child
