Old Enough Lyrics - Balm In Gilead - Rickie Lee Jones

Something's changed, it's not that I fear but 

Maybe it's that I took care of you too many times 

And you grew weaker for a kindness 

And sometimes kindness from a friend can break a man 

I can understand you sit there like a child, man 

I never meant to make you cry and I'm so sorry 

I'd turn the clock but tell me, tell me how can I? 

You're old enough to know 

You're old enough to know 

Why do you shun me when I treat you with respect? 

You've been my best friend, joy and happiness 

But without a tender kiss sometimes 

We may as well say goodbye 

'Cause late at night as the cars go by 

I lay here, I watch you try 

To pretend you're not breaking inside 

For someone to sing in your ear 

I can understand when you sit there like a child and beg 

Don't you? 

But if you want me to stay, baby has to cry sometime 

Don't be kind to me, I wanna walk away 

You're old enough to know 

You're old enough to know 

You're old enough to know 

You're old enough to know
