Little Child (Lennon/McCartney)
As a child they were the world to me
I was the quiet and trusting kind
She gave me love, he gave me honesty
He told me he and mom couldn't get along
It was time for him to leave
I said, "Now that it's not your home
Who's gonna sing me off to sleep
Now that you're on your own
Who's gonna answer when I call you"
At the sound of the tone, just a voice on the phone
Now that we're not a family
What did I do to make you both so mad
I know it must have been my fault
We share the memories that we all had
but they're hard to hold, in
Die Maschen Der MäDchen
Oh
how I'd love it
girl
just you and me
Take the day and fly.
But oh
this job it's got the best of me
Tell you why
tell you why:
Somebody above is in a desperate state
Some kind of urgency
the kind that won't wait.
I say: Tomorrow. He say: today.
And the man in my head
well
he tell me: No way. - Keep working.
I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs
Will you leave me in peace while I get the job done?
Can't you see i'm working?
Oh
oh
I'm working on it
oh
oh
I'm working on it.
Well
they're coming from above me and they're coming from below.
Yeah
they're in there right behind me
everywhere that I go.
And my buddy
he's screaming down the telephone line
He said: Gimme
gimme
gimme! I say: I ain't got no time.
Oh
oh can't you see I'm working on it?
OH
oh
I'm working on it
yeah
yeah
oh
tell them.
How I'd love it
girl
just you and me
...
Well they're coming from above me and they're coming from below. ...
