Lyrics
CHILD (3:42)
(CHORUS)
My child digs your child
Knew that right away
My yard is your yard
Let's skip school today
My fort is your fort
Climb my tree and play
Behavin' like a grownup, is losin' all it's joy
You're just a little girl, and I'm just a little boy
Baby, you smiled at me and that was all
Turned me to a toddler,
Even though I'm six feet tall
(CHORUS)
When I'm actin' serious, worrisome and blue
You say ga ga, and I'll say goo goo
Sugar, you keep me comin' back for more,
Got a sweet tooth baby
Like a kid in a candy store
(CHORUS)
Love will be the password, peace will be the sign
You show me yours, and I'll show you mine
Remember, youth is one of life's true riches
But when you start to act your age,
You're gettin' too big for your britches
