Manchild

Song byEels

and every time you crave for me i'm, here

and anything you hunger for i'll share

and i will be quietly standing by

while slowly i am dying inside

hold me in your arms

and let me be the one who can feel

like i am a child in love

every time i talk to you you're down

and every time you need a laugh i'm around

and when you forget i'm here i'm not

it isn't really me that you forgot

hold me in your arms

and let me be the one who can feel

like i am a child in love

whisper now

and tell me how you'll watch me

and tell me somehow i'm gonna be alright
