"Little Boy (Tender Touch)" lyrics

Let me go, said the little boy
And it's just like me
Let me go, said the little boy
And it's just like me

And they stole my future, and they stole my place
And it's just like me
But they won't tell my story, they won't show my face
And it's just like me

When every single thing in the world is broken
There's nothing left worth hanging on to

All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but no one believed me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much if someone believed me

All I needed was a little time
When we threw that line, well, it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, 'cause somebody needs me

Let me go, said the little boy
And it's just like me
Let me go, said the little boy
Hey, it's just like me

And it's bit by bit, and piece by piece
And it's just like me
I can't see no conclusion, I can't get no relief
And it's just like me

When every mother's son in the world was running
I had my spirit broken in two

All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but no one believed me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much if someone believed me

All I needed was a little time
When you threw that line, well, it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, 'cause somebody needs me

Let me go
And it's just like me
And it's just like me

When every single thing in the world is broken
There's nothing left worth hanging on to

All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but no one believed me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much if someone believed me

All I needed was a little time
When you threw that line, well, it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, 'cause somebody needs me

All I wanted was the tender touch
Never wanted much, but no one believed me
All I needed was a little luck
It would have meant so much if someone believed me

All I needed was a little time
When you threw that line, well, it worked out fine
All I wanted was the tender touch
Now it means so much, 'cause somebody needs me

All I wanted was the tender touch
