Well I feel just like a child                         G7
Yeah I feel just like a child
Well I feel just like a child                         C7
Well I feel just like a child                         G7
From my womb to my tomb                               D7
I guess I'll always be a child                        C7  G7

Well some people try and treat me like a man          (embarque)
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 < (oh)
Yeah I need you to come and tie my shoes
Yeah I need you to come and keep me amused
From my cave to my grave
I guess I'll always be a child

Well I need you to 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 first pull out a book and read me some of that
Cause I need you to make me take my nap
Aaah

And I need you to recognize my friends
Cause they're there even though you don't see them
They got their own chair, plate, and a seat
You know I won't touch my food unless they eat
From the roof to the floor
I 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 when it shows
From being my daddy's sperm
To being packed in an urn, I'm a child

And when I steal you gotta slap me til I cry
Don't you stop til the tears run dry
See I was born thinking under the sky
I didn't belong to a couple of old wise 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                               (éfouaré)
Oh I-I-I-I-I'm just a child
Well I'll always be a - yes - child

(pipeau)  Yay
