Erykah Badu - A Child with the Blues lyrics

Could have never known that when losin'

Could hurt you so very bad

Could have never known that when chosin'

Could make you feels 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

Oh yeah

Make a smile for yourself

Yourself

Girl, don't make livin' so hard

So hard, I keep tellin' myself

I keep tellin' myself

Feels like I'm goin' away

Sometimes it ain't all damn fair

I'm a child with the blues

Baby, blue

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

Face yourself

Protect yourself

Ooh, feels like my life is just existing

And I'm missing someone

It's hard to replace the simple fact

It's 'cause my lover is gone

Tell it to ya ....

And you're walkin' in my shoes

You're a chils with the blues

I can't stop the flow, can't stop it

Of the wet tears in my eyes

And if you're any other many kind of women

Woman in pain, gotta rely, rely

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...
