Songtexte
[Verse 1]
Your hair hangs in golden steps, you're a bonafide in every respect
You are walkin' through streets that mean nothing to you
You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you
Maybe that's why you speak like a child
The things you're sayin' like I'm so free and so wild
And I believe it when you look in my eyes
You offer me a life and never lies
Least not only the kind to make me smile
[Verse 2]
Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive
He shops in store where only the best buy
You're cool and hard and if I sound like a lecher
It's probably true but at least there's no lecture
[Verse 3]
I really like it when you speak like a child
The crazy sayings like I'm so free and so wild
You have to make a bargain with me now
A promise that you won't change somehow
No way, no how
[Verse 4]
Spent all day thinkin' about you
Spent all night comin' to terms with it
Time and conditions are built to tame
Nothing lasts with age so people say
But I will always try to feel the same
[Verse 5]
Spent all day thinkin' about you
Spent all night comin' to terms with it
Time and conditions are built to tame
Nothing lasts with age so people say
But I will always try to feel the same
[Verse 6]
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
The way you hate the homely rank and the file
The way you're so proud to be oh so free and so wild
[Verse 7]
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
The way you're so proud to be oh so free and so wild
[Verse 8]
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
The way you're so proud to be oh so free and so wild
