Could have never known that when losin'
|
Could hurt you so very bad
|
Could have never known that when chosin'
|
Would make you so very sad
|
|
I don't know what to do
|
I just feel so confused
|
I'm a child with the blues
|
|
Take your time, smell the flowers
|
Make a smile for yourself
|
Girl, don't make livin' so hard,
|
So hard, So hard, I keep tellin' myself
|
|
Feels like I'm goin' away
|
Sometimes it ain't all damn fair
|
A child with the blues
|
|
Sisters, sisters
|
I know you're watchin' me
|
There are a lot of games reachin' for you
|
Constantly
|
|
When you think you're grown
|
You're entering the unknown
|
Baby, check yourself
|
Brace yourself
|
Protect yourself
|
Face yourself
|
|
Feels like my life is just existing
|
And I'm missing someone
|
|
It's hard to replace the simple fact
|
'cause my lover is gone, gone on
|
|
Never too young to pay your dues,
|
And you're walkin' in my shoes
|
You're a child with the blues, so blue, so blue
|
|
I can't stop the flow, can't stop it
|
Of the tears in my eyes
|
|
And if you're any of the many kind of women in pain,
|
Woman in pain, realize, realize
|
|
The same emotion we share
|
Movin' fast but goin' nowhere
|
|
Like a child with the blues
|
A child with the blues
|
Baby, blue
|
This child is blue
|
Show no blues
|
|
A child with the blues, ooh
|
|
Blue...
|
