Tiny Children On Their Own, They Learn So Fast

How To Make New Friends, How To Play Their New Games



I Remember A Man He Had Shiny Hair

Always Hanging Around When You Went Away



Little Eight Year Old, She Knows Too Many Secrets

Much Too Young To Understand What It Means



I Remember A Woman With Silver Hair

And The Smell And The Taste Of The Bed We Shared



And That's How I Behaved

Every Time That You Went Away

And Now, Though I'm Older Nothing's Changed

(playing The Same Games)



And I Knew Every Day

Came A Chance That You'd Leave Me

So I Found What I Could To Take Your Place



Told Me Not To Cry

Said That I'd Survive

As He Waved Goodbye



And I Want To Try

Not To Make You Cry

Want Us To Survive

Never Say Goodbye



But That's How I Behave When You Go Away

Because Though I'm Older Nothing's Changed

(playing The Same Games)



And I Know Every Day

There's A Chance That You'll Leave Me

So I Find What I Can To Take Your Place
