I Feel Just Like a Child

Devendra Banhart

Lyrics

(Okay, we're rolling again)

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 come 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, 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 be my daddy's sperm

To being packed in an urn

I'm a child

And when I steal you've gotta smack me til I cry

Don't you stop 'til all the tears run dry

See I was born thinking all 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
