problem child

it's a depression and childish regression

that's changing my baby before my eyes

and i see how she's frightened

by thunder and lightning

afraid of her shadow and me

i think i'm hooked on a problem child

a mere child

a wild child

now how'd i get hung on a problem child

a mother's child is she

she's so unstable

i've got to be able

to break her away from the scene

she's in

she's attached to her mother

there's room for no other

she acts just as though she were three

she says she adores me

and yet she ignores me

whenever i try makin' love to her

she insists that it's wrong

and resists all along

but she wants it as badly as me

i think i'm hooked on a problem child

a mere child

a wild child

now how'd i get hung on a problem child

a mother's child is she

i

think i'm hooked on a problem child

a mere child

a sick child

now how'd i get hung on a problem child

a mother's child is she

i think i have troubles with a problem child

i don't know what to do

ooh.
