Big Kids
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
We've been going together, gonna last forever
And it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger, yeah, everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination that nobody's gonna rearrange
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here
Big kids, think they know it all
Big kids, think they've got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that they're only big kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? Big kids, big kids
Who do you think your heroes are? Big kids
I may never reach maturity but baby, I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here, big kids
Big kids, big kids, big kids, big kids
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Oh big kids, oh
'Cause my situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
And everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here
