A Child with the Blues (feat. Terence Blanchard)

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 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 oh, oh) Never too young to pay dues And if 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 (can't stop it, can't stop it) Of the wet tears in my eyes, oh And if you're any of the many kind of women in pain Woman in pain, rely, rely Same emotion we share Movin' fast but goin' nowhere Like a child with the blues Child with the blues A child with the blues, blues, blues, hmm-mm, hmm-mm This child with the blues Uh-huh, oh, oh
