I Wish I Was a Little Boy Again

(Glenn Sutton - Darrell Edwards)



Just a few short years ago I'd played a lot with Bill and Joe

They seemed to think that I was quite a guy

I could climb the highest tree and they would always follow me

We had friendship I thought would never die.



But soon I've change from tomboy girl and grew into a woman's world

And moved away leaving my old friends

Now I'm miles and years away but I still dream of childhood days

And I wish I was a little boy again.



But girls grow into women and boys grow into men

And the world of make believe, oh, too soon must end

And I blame that awful change for the shape my life is in

Oh, how I wish I was a little boy again.



I married someone they don't know a social lead they're far below

The kind of life that I now have to live

The man I married is cold to me but though he's wealthy just can't see

That love cannot be bought it has to give.



I wish I'd chosen one of them instead of being here with him

If I could leave right now I think I'd go

I'd trade this mansion I hate so for a small tree house with Bill or Joe

I wish I was a little boy again.



But girls grow into women and boys grow into men

And the world of make believe, oh, too soon must end

And I blame that awful change for the shape my life is in

Oh, how I wish I was a little boy again.



Oh, how I wish I was a little boy again...
