If you're really sorry you're supposed to let it show   All I ever get from you is no then yes then no   I'm up against the best of them and still I want you so   Ohoh, desperately so      And then I get to thinking of the way it used to go   Such a lonely puppy never wants to be alone   And if you knew I was the same today you wouldn't hurt me so   Oh, no wouldn't let me go      This is the day I thought would never come   I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one   And when your days are setting like the sun   Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one      Step into my motor we can catch another show   Soho's full of tourists and the East is doing coke   All I want's a drink a day and joke that don't get old   Ohoh desperately so      This is the day I thought would never come   I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one   And when your days are setting like the sun   Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one      It's not easy to crawl and save face tonight   It's not easy when you're old but back then I was a child   I could please my own world and sleep safe at night   It was easy back then and it's gonna be again   Now, alright      This is the day I thought would never come   I'm gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one   And when your days are setting like the sun   Still gonna be the child, I'm gonna be the one      I'm gonna be the one
