Let Me Be a Kid
It is so hard, hard, hard to be
A mother, when you haven't ever had a mother's love
And it breaks my heart to be
Locked into a marriage of adult responsibility
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Let me be young before I get old (let me be a kid)
Just let me be young before I get old (let me be a kid)
Just let me be young, that's what I am
Young, oh, let me be young, that's what I am
Young, 'just' let me be young, that's what I am
Young, oh, let me be young, that's what I am
Young
It is so hard, hard, hard to be
Authority and then a home that would demand maturity
And it breaks my heart to see
Kids who hate themselves because they're not what they're supposed to be
Parents, wake up, you all must be once children
Parents, wake up, you all must be once children
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
Just let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
Let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
Just let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
A mother, when you haven't ever had a mother's love
And it breaks my heart to be
Locked into a marriage of adult responsibility
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Let me be young before I get old (let me be a kid)
Just let me be young before I get old (let me be a kid)
Just let me be young, that's what I am
Young, oh, let me be young, that's what I am
Young, 'just' let me be young, that's what I am
Young, oh, let me be young, that's what I am
Young
It is so hard, hard, hard to be
Authority and then a home that would demand maturity
And it breaks my heart to see
Kids who hate themselves because they're not what they're supposed to be
Parents, wake up, you all must be once children
Parents, wake up, you all must be once children
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Set me free, and let me play out in the playground
Let me be just a kid out in the playground
Let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
Just let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
Let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
Just let me be young before I get old, let me be a kid
