I'm just a child trying to be a woman
And you
Ah you are a strange one
Tryin'
To be my man
Ah lying here so close to me tryin'
I love you I love you I love you
But it's so hard for me to be me
I wish I could give to you
I'd be free I'd be free I'd be free
Ah then I could be me
I'm just a child trying to be a woman
And you

Ah you are a strange one trying to be
My friend
Ah lyin' here telling me what you feel tryin'
I need you I need you I need you
But it's so hard for me to be me
I wish I could live for you
I'd be free I'd be free I'd be free
Ah then I could be me
I'm just a child trying to be a woman
And you
You are a strange one
Trying not to be a child.
