I Feel Like A Child Lyrics

Well, I feel just like a child.

Yeah, I feel just like a child.

Well, 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.



Well, some people try and treat me like a man.

Well, some people try and treat me like a man.

Well, I guess they just don't understand

Well, 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 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 ammused.



From my cave to my grave I guess I'll always be a child



I need you to help me reach the door,

And, I need you to walk me to the store,

I need you to please explain the war,

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

I ned you to make me take my nap

can you first 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 I'll crawl around some more

I'm a child.



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 when it shows.



From being my daddy's sperm to being packed in an urn



And, when I steal you got to smack me lit I cry,

Don't you stop till the tears run dry.

See, I was born thinkin out under the sky,

Didn't belong to a couple old white guys.



From sucking on my mama's breast to when they lay my soul to rest.

I'm a child.



Well, I'm a little child.

Oh, I'm a little child.

I guess I'll always be,

A little child.
