The Child

If you're really sorry you're supposed to let it show
All I ever get from you is loneliness and no
I'm up against the best of them but still I want you so
Oh ho, desperately so
And then I get to thinking 'bout the way it used to go
Such a lonely button man that wants to be alone
And if you knew I was the same today you wouldn't hurt me so
Oh no, you wouldn't let me go

This is the day I thought would never come
I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one
And when your days are setting like the sun
Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

Slip into my room and we'll catch another show
Soho's full of tourists and the East is too unco
All I want's a drink and dirty jokes that don't get old
Oh ho, desperately so

This is the day I thought would never come
I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one
And when your days are setting like the sun
Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

It's not easy to fall and save face
Tonight it's not easy when you're overbooked
And when all those that jump up and freeze
My whole world it seems safe
Tonight it feels easy but I really know
That it's gonna be the end of all that

This is the day I thought would never come
I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one
And when your days are setting like the sun
Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one

I'm gonna be the one (This is the day I thought would never come)
I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the child (I'm gonna be the one)
I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the one
I'm gonna be the one
