Kid About It Lyrics

Cover art for Kid About It lyrics by Elvis Costello

I think this is about the sadness of leaving behind innocence.

"So what if this is a man's world I want to be a kid again about it"

It's also about the lies people tell each other...

"Say you wouldn't kid about it She's telling all of those lies She swore she'd never told before But I doubt it "

It makes it hard to trust another person with your heart... "I might even live to tell the tale".

This is one of the best ELVIS songs ever. I wish Elvis would tell me what they all mean. I hate poetry but love his lyrics.
