Q&A
Like A Child Lyrics
If I could right the wrongs that made you cry
Girl, would you promise not to say goodbye, oh
Cuz I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take the day without you by my side
Girl if I could change
If I could change your mind
Maybe you could help me wipe these tears from my eyes
Girl don't stop (don't stop)
The sun from shining down on me (ooh shining down on me, yeah)
Cuz I can't face another day without your smile (your smile)
And if you take away the loving arms that surround me
Then I might break down and cry just like a child
Girl I can't belong and I won't be free
If I fail to bring your lovin' back to me (oh back to me)
So I'm pressin' on
I hope you understand
That there's a broken heart that lies within your hands
So if I can change (so if I can change)
And it won't hurt your pride (it won't your pride)
Baby you can help stop these tears from my cries
Girl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me (shining down on me)
Cuz I can't face another day without your smile (your pretty smile, your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms that surround me
Then I might break down and cry just like a child
Like a child
Just like a child
With the spirits running free
She trapped me wild
Oh she did
Like a child (oh baby)
Just like a child Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a child, yeah
[Chorus 'til fade]
Girl, would you promise not to say goodbye, oh
Cuz I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take the day without you by my side
If I could change your mind
Maybe you could help me wipe these tears from my eyes
The sun from shining down on me (ooh shining down on me, yeah)
Cuz I can't face another day without your smile (your smile)
And if you take away the loving arms that surround me
Then I might break down and cry just like a child
If I fail to bring your lovin' back to me (oh back to me)
So I'm pressin' on
I hope you understand
That there's a broken heart that lies within your hands
And it won't hurt your pride (it won't your pride)
Baby you can help stop these tears from my cries
The sun from shining down on me (shining down on me)
Cuz I can't face another day without your smile (your pretty smile, your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms that surround me
Then I might break down and cry just like a child
Just like a child
With the spirits running free
She trapped me wild
Oh she did
Like a child (oh baby)
Just like a child Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a child, yeah

My favourite BSB song...well one of my favourites!!! This one is really romantic and beautifully sung!
Isn't it though?! :) I absolutely love this song. It's just... sighs beautiful. LOL
yeah. This song is so good. I still love it!
I'd forgotten how good this song was. Always gets me, even now. Tears in my eyes.
even though it's old i really like this song
this was one of my favourite songs when this album came out and i was a little girl =) and i still think it's one of the best ballads they ever did.
"Think of what our love could be, if our hearts could set us free..." - wow.
Classic old school ballad by BSB! Absolutely wonderful.
