Could have never known that when losin'
Could hurt you so very bad
Could have never known that when chosin'

Would make you so very sad

I don't know what to do

I just feel so confused
I'm a child with the blues


Take your time, smell the flowers
Make a smile for yourself
Girl, don't make livin' so hard,

So hard, So hard, I keep tellin' myself

Feels like I'm goin' away

Sometimes it ain't all damn fair
A child with the blues


Sisters, sisters
I know you're watchin' me
There are a lot of games reachin' for you

Constantly

When you think you're grown

You're entering the unknown
Baby, check yourself
Brace yourself

Protect yourself
Face yourself


Feels like my life is just existing
And I'm missing someone


It's hard to replace the simple fact
'cause my lover is gone, gone on


Never too young to pay your dues,
And you're walkin' in my shoes
You're a child with the blues, so blue, so blue


I can't stop the flow, can't stop it
Of the tears in my eyes


And if you're any of the many kind of women in pain,
Woman in pain, realize, realize


The same emotion we share
Movin' fast but goin' nowhere


Like a child with the blues
A child with the blues

Baby, blue
This child is blue
Show no blues


A child with the blues, ooh


Blue
