The Echoing Green - Like a Child lyrics

Infatuation is just a waste of time

All my temptations I can try to leave

Behind

But I'm nothing less than human

Emotions keep returning

My mind is willing but my heart is so weak

And I can try with all my might

To find my peace of mind

Pure love is understanding

Push my pride aside

Pure love is so demanding

I got the message

I've learned my lesson

Love like a child

Borrow innocence for a while

And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt

Before

Never been hurt this way

I'm so afraid

Of being shot down and turned away

I'm nothing less than human

It's sad but true

I show the bruises of my tainted youth

And I can try with all my might

To find my peace of mind

Push my pride aside

Pure love is so demanding

I've got the message

I've learned my lesson

Love like a child

Borrow innocence for a while

And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt

Before

Never been hurt this way

Love like a child

Borrow innocence for a while

And I will love like I've never loved before

Love without restrain
