Well, I feel just like a child
Yeah, I feel just like a child
Well, I feel just like a child
From my womb to my tomb I guess
I'll always be a child
Wel,l some people try and treat me like a man
Yeah, some people try and treat me like a man
Well, I guess they just don't understand
Yeah, some people try and treat me like a man
They think I know shit, but that's just it
I'm a child
Well, I need you to tell me what to wear
Yeah, I need you to help me comb my hair
Yeah, I need you to help me tie my shoes
Yeah, I need you to come keep me amused
From my cave to my grave
I guess I'll always be a child
Well, I need you to come help me reach the door
And I need you to walk me to the store
And I need you to please explain the war
And I need you to heal me when I'm sore
You can tell by my smile
That I'm a child
And I need you to sit me on your lap
And I need you to make me take my nap
Could you pull out a book and read me some of that?
'Cause I need you to make me take my nap
And I need you to recognize my friends
'Cause they're there even though you don't see them
They got their own chair, a plate, and a seat
You know I won't touch my food unless they eat
From the roof to the floor, crawl around some more
I'm a child
And I need you to help me blow my nose
And I need you to help me count my toes
And I need you to help me put on my clothes
And I need you to hide it where it shows
From being my daddy's sperm to being packed in an urn
I'm a child
And when I steal you gotta smack me 'til I cry
Don't you stop 'til all the tears run dry
See I was born thinking all under the sky
Didn't belong to a couple of white guys
From sucking on my momma's breast to when they lay my soul to rest
I'm a child, yeah
Wel,l I'm a little child
Oh I'm a little child
I guess I'll always be
A litte child
