Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your hair hangs in golden steps
You're a bonafide, in every respect
You are walking through streets
That mean nothing to you
You believe you're above it
And I don't really blame you
[Verse 2]
Maybe that's why you speak like a child
The things you're saying
Like I'm so free and so wild
[Verse 3]
And I believe it when you look in my eyes
You offer me a life and never lies
It's only the kind to make me smile
[Verse 4]
Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive
The shops in stores where only the best buy
You're cool and hard, never sound like a lecher
It's probably true, but at least there's no lecture
I really like it when you speak like a child
The crazy sayings, like I'm so free and so wild
[Verse 5]
You have to make a bargain with me now
A promise that you won't change somehow
No way, no how
[Verse 6]
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 7]
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 8]
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really like it when you speak like a child
I really hate the homely rank and the file
The way you're so proud to be, oh, so free and so wild
[Verse 9]
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 10]
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
