Devendra Banhart - I Feel Just Like a Child lyrics

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

Well 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 and comb my hair

Yeah I need you to help 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 share of 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 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 thinking under the sky

Didn’t belong to a couple of old white guys

From sucking on my mother’s breast

To when they lay my tomb to rest

I’m a child yeah

Well I’m a little child

Well I’m a little child

I guess I’m always be

A little child
