A Child With The Blues

ERYKAH BADU

9

Could have never known that windows

Could hurt you so very bad

Could have never known that witches

Could make you feel 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 smile for yourself

Yourself

Girl don't make livin' so hard, so hard

I keep tellin' myself, I keep tellin' myself ooh

Feels like I'm goin' away

Sometimes it ain't all damn fair

I'm a child with the blues (ooh, baby blue)

Sisters, sisters, I'll tell you what you need

There are (???) reachin' for you constantly

When you thing you're grown you enter the unknown

Baby, check yourself

Brace yourself

Protect yourself

Face yourself

Oh, feels like my life is just excisting

And I'm missin' some one

It's hard to replace the simple fact

It's 'cause my lover is gone (gone no ooh)

Tell it to you on the prayer do's

And you're walkin'in my shoes

You're a child with the blues

(so blue, very blue)

I can't stop the float, 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

I'm a child withe blues

Baby blue

This child is blue

Show my blues

A child with the blues

Blue.... aaaw yeah..
