I'm Just A Kid (Don't Make Me...) [Live/Livetime]
Hall And Oates · Livetime [1977]
Little girl what's your name
now don't you go looking at me like that
you might see I'm ashamed - what's your name
Talk with me, won't you talk with me
Ooooooh pretty girl
It ain't too hip faking lines you ain't taking
but your lips make me say it that way
Now there's no use you resisting
this is the Cradle Thief insisting
I think you better let me have it my way
Fool around with me, come on mess around with me
Will you survive, learn to drive
I know you can't describe the dreams you want to be
either stay or get away
I'm not playing around, can't you tell the way I'm squeezing
your hand
I'm just a kid don't make me feel like a man
Silly girl I'm just playing
now did you think that I'd be nuts enough to try an' pick you up
don't you know it's a game - it's all a game I've been playing
but what'd you say your name was...
Walk with me... just around the corner baby maybe you could even
try to talk to me
Damn you talk to me!
Damn you talk to me!
now don't you go looking at me like that
you might see I'm ashamed - what's your name
Talk with me, won't you talk with me
Ooooooh pretty girl
It ain't too hip faking lines you ain't taking
but your lips make me say it that way
Now there's no use you resisting
this is the Cradle Thief insisting
I think you better let me have it my way
Fool around with me, come on mess around with me
Will you survive, learn to drive
I know you can't describe the dreams you want to be
either stay or get away
I'm not playing around, can't you tell the way I'm squeezing
your hand
I'm just a kid don't make me feel like a man
Silly girl I'm just playing
now did you think that I'd be nuts enough to try an' pick you up
don't you know it's a game - it's all a game I've been playing
but what'd you say your name was...
Walk with me... just around the corner baby maybe you could even
try to talk to me
Damn you talk to me!
Damn you talk to me!
I'm Just A Kid (Don't Make Me...)
Recorded live during the 1977 Livetime tour, this track by Hall & Oates captures the band's signature blend of pop sensibility and soulful grit. The performance showcases Daryl Hall's distinctive vocal delivery and John Oates' rhythmic precision, hallmarks of their early work that defined the soft rock and new wave landscape of the late 1970s. As a staple of their live repertoire, the song reflects the duo's ability to transform studio recordings into dynamic, audience-engaging experiences. Its inclusion on the Livetime album cemented their status as one of the era's most successful acts, bridging the gap between R&B influences and mainstream pop appeal.
