Lyrics
I'm just a child tryin' to be a woman
And you, ah, you are a strange one
Tryin' to be my man
Ah, lyin' here, lyin' here so close to me, tryin'
I love you, I love you, I love you
But it's so hard for me to be me
I wish I could give to you
I'd be free, I'd be free, I'd be free
Ah, then I could be me
I'm just a child tryin' to be a woman
And you, ah, you are a strange one
Tryin' to be my friend
Ah, lyin' here tellin' me what you feel, tryin'
I need you, I need you, I need you
But it's so hard for me to be me
I wish I could live for you
I'd be free, I'd be free, I'd be free
Ah, then I could be me
I'm just a child tryin' to be a woman
And you, you are a strange one
Tryin' not to be a child
