The Child

If you're really sorry you're supposed to let it show

All I ever get from you is no then yes then no

I'm up against the best of them and still I want you so

Ohoh, desperately so

And then I get to thinking of the way it used to go

Such a lonely puppy never wants to be alone

And if you knew I was the same today you wouldn't hurt me so

Oh, no wouldn't let me go

This is the day I thought would never come

I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

And when your days are setting like the sun

Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

Step into my motor we can catch another show

Soho's full of tourists and the East is doing coke

All I want's a drink a day and joke that don't get old

Ohoh desperately so

This is the day I thought would never come

I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

And when your days are setting like the sun

Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

It's not easy to crawl and save face tonight

It's not easy when you're old but back then I was a child

I could please my own world and sleep safe at night

It was easy back then and it's gonna be again

Now, alright

This is the day I thought would never come

I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

And when your days are setting like the sun

Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

I'm gonna be the one
