Could have never known that when losin'
Could hurt you so very bad
Could have never known that when chosin'
Would make you so very sad
I don't know what to do
I just feel so confused
I'm a child with the blues
Take your time, smell the flowers
Make a smile for yourself
Girl, don't make livin' so hard,
So hard, So hard, I keep tellin' myself
Feels like I'm goin' away
Sometimes it ain't all damn fair
A child with the blues
Sisters, sisters
I know you're watchin' me
There are a lot of games reachin' for you
Constantly
When you think you're grown
You're entering the unknown
Baby, check yourself
Brace yourself
Protect yourself
Face yourself
Feels like my life is just existing
And I'm missing someone
It's hard to replace the simple fact
'cause my lover is gone, gone on
Never too young to pay your dues,
And you're walkin' in my shoes
You're a child with the blues, so blue, so blue
I can't stop the flow, can't stop it
Of the tears in my eyes
And if you're any of the many kind of women in pain,
Woman in pain, realize, realize
The same emotion we share
Movin' fast but goin' nowhere
Like a child with the blues
A child with the blues
Baby, blue
This child is blue
Show no blues
A child with the blues, ooh
Blue...
