Children

(Bill Anderson)



Children, we're acting like children

Instead of like a man and a fullgrown woman

We're acting like babies, little bitty babies

And we're about to throw away a lifetime of good, good loving.



Love is not a game, love is not a toy

I'm not a little girl and you're not a little boy

But if we're not careful we're gonna destroy

A fairy tale that might have come true.



By acting like children, little bitty children

And we're about to throw away a lifetime of good, good loving

Once upon a time we didn't fight

Everything was beautiful, everything was right.



And we made love instead of war every night

And I wanna go back to the good times.



Stop acting like children, little bitty children

Start acting like a man and a fullgrown woman

We're acting like babies, little bitty babies

'Cause we're about to throw away a lifetime of good, good loving...
