V1

When I was a child,

My street was my world,

Its no surprise

when I was young

I led a sheltered life

but then I stepped outside

My little world and..



V2

My innocence was stripped away

Outside my door

a leathal world awaited me

Filled with haterid

and hypocracy....



chorus

Now I wanna be a kid again

In those summers with the girls

with friends calling round with friends

am I asking much too much?

You whine your life is tough

I dont really want to know.

cause Wise, age, grace are fine,

but I want something else.



V3

Now with Wedding bells A ringing.

not sure I wanna know.

you get into these things,

then you cant get out,

and dont have the nerve to go.



V4

I'd learn from my mistakes,.

as if i'd really want to know

it seems life rushed by at a rate of noughts

just more than I could grow.



chorus x3

And I wanna be a kid again

In those summers with the girls

with friends calling round with friends

am I asking much too much?

You whine your life is tough

I dont really want to know.

cause Wise, age, grace are fine,

but I want something else.

"age before beauty"





(Chorus repeats with extra 3 bars)



Chorus.



last chorus: (final song chorus out)

I just wanna be a kid again,

In those summers with the girls.

With friends, hanging round with friends,

am I asking, much, too, much?

You think your life is tough,

and you think that I dont know.

Because Wise, age, grace are fine,

while I want something else.
