a child with the blues

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' nowhere

sometimes it ain't all damn fair

a 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 on

never too young to pay your 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

of wet tears in my eyes

and if you're any of the many kind of women in pain

woman in pain

realize

realize

the same emotion we share

movin fast but goin nowhere

like a child with the blues

a child with the blues

a child with the blues blue

a child with the blues

ooh
