I Feel Just Like A Child
Devendra Banhart
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
Yeah, some people try and treat me like a man
They think I know shit 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 and tie my shoes
Yeah, I need you to come and 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 to 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, plate, and a seat
You know I won't touch my food unless they eat
From the roof to the floor, I 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 gotta smack me 'til I cry
Don't you stop 'til the tears run dry
See I was born thinkin' under the sky
I didn't belong to a couple of 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
