I Feel Just Like A Child Lyrics – Devendra Banhart

I Feel Just Like A Child Text

---

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
Yes, some people try and treat me like a man.

They think I know sh*t 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 me comb my hair,
Yeah, I need you to help me tie my shoes,
Yeah, I need you to come 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 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 chair , a 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 got to smack me till I cry,
Don't you stop till the tears run dry.
See, I was born thinkin out under the sky,
Didn't belong to a couple old wise guys.

From sucking on my mama's breast to when they lay my soul to rest.
I'm a child.

Well, I'm a little child.
Oh, I'm a little child.
I guess I'll always be,
A little child.
