Lyrics

IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

There is a place in your own backyard
Where you can bury your face when life?s too hard
There?s always someone who will break your heart
There is a place in your own backyard
Where you can get lost in your own little world

My little one, she brings me down
When she?s having her fun, all over town.
My little girl, she plays the clown
My little one, she brings me down
When she gets lost in her own little world
When she gets lost in her own little world

It can?t be you; it can?t be true, my love.
It can?t be true; it can?t be you, my love
She don?t know when she?s had enough
Cause she?s lost in her own little world

There is a place in your own backyard
Where you can bury your face when life?s too hard
There?s always someone who will break your heart
There is a place in your own backyard
Where you can get lost in your own little world

You can have your fun but when you?re done
You?re not fooling anyone
Cause you?re lost in your own little world

Yeah
