"The Child In Me" lyrics

I might look a certain age
But this book has some missing pages
Got the introduction right
But I've been stuck on it for ages

I might sit and look like you
But I can't do the things you do
The years belie my true conviction
This life is a work of fiction

You must not leave me in this company
I think they'll know that they've got years on me
Oh they will find me out most certainly
Cause they will surely see the child in me
(Oh they will surely see the child in me)

If this is what we're calling fun
I think I'll use this chance to run
Instead of making conversation
I really do not have the patience

How do I get qualified?
To act completely horrified
When hearing tales that honestly
I would have told myself you see

I really think you know me better
I really think you know me better
Won't you stay just a little while longer?
Won't you stay 'till I feel a bit stronger?
