Singer:devendra banhart

well i feel just like a child

yeah i feel just like a child

well i feel just like a child

well i feel just like a child

from my womb to my tomb

i guess i'll always be a child

well some people try and treat me like a man

yeah some people try and treat me like a man

well i guess they just don't understand

well 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 and comb my hair

yeah i need you to help 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

and i need you to recognize my friends

cause they're there even though you don't see them

they got their own share of plate and a seat

you know i won't touch my food unless they eat

from the roof to the floor i'll 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 smack me 'til i cry

don't you stop 'til the tears run dry

see i was born thinking under the sky

didn't belong to a couple of old white guys

from sucking on my mother's breast

to when they lay my tomb to rest

i'm a child yeah

well i'm a little child

well i'm a little child

i guess i'm always be

a little child
