To step out of your cradle   Is like coming down   I just had somebody tell me   I was introspective to a fault      I'll be a dozer if I can   But I will contented be right now   For us to keep our secret      You could tell me all your secrets   All you want to do is run and hide   You keep it inside      You could tell me all your secrets   All you want to do is let it ride   Keep it inside      But if it's as it seems   And I keep having dreams   About the two of us then it's obvious      You should stop treating me   Like I was just a child   Start treating me   Like I was just as wild as you      To step out of your cradle   Is like coming down   I just had somebody tell me   I was introspective to a fault      I'll be a dozer if I can   But I will contented be right now   For us to keep our secrets      We could be a little closer   The mystery you're trying to preserve   Don't you need in reserve?      We could get a little closer   Intimacy has the greater charm   It would do no harm      To give a little way, oh please stop holding sway   Oh, you could even read me your poetry      If you could stop treating me   Like I was just a child   And start treating me like   I was just as wild as you      Stop treating me   Like I was just a child, child   Just a child, just a child   Just a child, just a child
