Tin Soldier

Uriah Heep · Other Songs - Uriah Heep

I am the little tin soldier

That wants to jump into your fire

You, oh look in your eye

A dream passing by in the skies



I don't understand

All I need is to treat me like a man

I ain't no child, take me like I am



I've got some love that belongs to you

I'll do anything that you want me to

I'll sing any song that you want me to

Sing to you



All I need is your whispered hello

Smiles melting the snow, nothing heard

Your eyes, oh deeper than time

I see a love that won't rhyme without words



So now bless my way

I need help to show me things to say

Give me your love before mine breaks away



I've got some love that belongs to you

I'll do anything that you want me to

I'll sing any song that you want me to

Sing to you



I don't need no aggravation

I just got to make you

I just got to make you understand



I've got some love that belongs to you

I'll do anything that you want me to

I'll sing any song that you want me to

Sing to you



I am the little tin soldier

That wants to jump into your fire

You oh, look in your eye

A dream passing by in the skies



I don't understand

All I need is to treat me like a man

I ain't no child, take me like I am, take me



I've got some love that belongs to you

I'll do anything that you want me to

I'll sing any song that you want me to

Sing to you

Oh I'll sing it to you



I just want some reaction

Someone to give me satisfaction

I love you
