Like A Child Lyrics - The Echoing Green

Infatuation is just a waste of time 

All my temptations I can try to leave 

Behind 

But I'm nothing less than human 

Emotions keep returning 

My mind is willing but my heart is so weak 

And I can try with all my might 

To find my peace of mind 

Pure love is understanding 

Push my pride aside 

Pure love is so demanding 

I got the message 

I've learned my lesson 

Love like a child 

Borrow innocence for a while 

And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt 

Before 

Never been hurt this way 

I'm so afraid 

Of being shot down and turned away 

I'm nothing less than human 

It's sad but true 

I show the bruises of my tainted youth 

And I can try with all my might 

To find my peace of mind 

Push my pride aside 

Pure love is so demanding 

I've got the message 

I've learned my lesson 

Love like a child 

Borrow innocence for a while 

And I'll pretend that I've never been hurt 

Before 

Never been hurt this way 

Love like a child 

Borrow innocence for a while 

And I will love like I've never loved before 

Love without restrain
