I’D BEEN CRAZY AND WILD

BUT ALL I WAS, WAS AND ONLY CHILD

 

EVEN MY OWN MOTHER

DON’T LIKE ME TO TELL SOMEONE

THAT I’M HER FLESH AND BLOOD

THAT I’M HER ONLY SON

 

IT HURTS WHEN DAD TELLS ME

THAT I CAN’T DO THINGS RIGHT

BUT ALL I SEE I DID

WAS TO STAY OUT ALL NIGHT

 

YOU’D THINK  –  I’D BEEN CRAZY AND WILD

BUT ALL I WAS, WAS AND ONLY CHILD

BORN TOO LATE OR TOO SOON

POPPED THEIR HAPPY BALLOON

 

DID NOT LIKE TO COME HOME

LEFT SCHOOL TO BE SOMEONE

BUT ALL THEY EVER SAID

I WAS JUST HAVING FUN

 

 

 I HAD TO LEARN THE THINGS

THEY NEVER TOLD ME BOUT

WHAT EVER I GOT INTO

THEY TOLD ME TO GET OUT

 

YOU’D THINK I’D BEEN CRAZY AND WILD

BUT ALL I WAS, WAS AND ONLY CHILD

 

AS AN ONLY CHILD

YOU’D THINK I’D BEEN A BRIGHTER

SPARK IN THEIR LIFE

AS AN ONLY CHILD

BUT I THINK I MADE

THEIR LIVES FULL OF STRIFE

 

I WAS –  BORN TOO LATE OR TOO SOON

I THINK I –  POPPED THEIR HAPPY BALLOON

 

SO MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED

BY SINCE THOSE YOUNGER DAYS

WENT BACK AND TRIED TO SHOW

THAT I HAVE CHANGED MY WAYS

 

BUT ALL THEY COULD TELL ME

WHAT I ALL READY KNOWN

THAT I WAS DIFFERENT

AND SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE

 

IT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND

ALL THE PEOPLE TODAY

WHO LOVE YOU FOREVER

AND THEN JUST FADE AWAY

 

MY LOVE GOES BACK FARTHER

TO MY MOTHER’S SWEET CHARMS

WHEN MY DADDY HELD HER

VERY CLOSE IN HIS ARMS

 

HE SAID TO HER ALOUD

WE WILL NEVER HAVE AN ONLY CHILD

 

YOU’D THINK I’D BEEN CRAZY AND WILD

BUT ALL I EVER WAS, WAS AN ONLY CHILD

I WAS BORN TOO LATE OR TO SOON

I POPPED THEIR HAPPY BALLOON

 

YOU’D THINK I’D BEEN CRAZY AND WILD

BUT ALL I EVER WAS, WAS AN ONLY CHILD

AND HE SAID TO HER ALOUD THAT

WE WILL NEVER HAVE AN ONLY CHILD

 

YOU’D THINK I’D BEEN CRAZY AND WILD

BUT ALL I EVER WAS, WAS AN ONLY CHILD
