Rickie Lee Jones - Old Enough lyrics

rate me

<br>Something's changed, it's not that I fear but <br>Maybe it's that I took care of you too many times <br>And you grew weaker for a kindness <br>And sometimes kindness from a friend can break a man <br> <br>I can understand you sit there like a child, man <br>I never meant to make you cry and I'm so sorry <br>I'd turn the clock but tell me, tell me how can I? <br> <br>You're old enough to know <br>You're old enough to know <br> <br>Why do you shun me when I treat you with respect? <br>You've been my best friend, joy and happiness <br>But without a tender kiss sometimes <br>We may as well say goodbye <br>'Cause late at night as the cars go by <br>I lay here, I watch you try <br>To pretend you're not breaking inside <br>For someone to sing in your ear <br> <br>I can understand when you sit there like a child and beg <br>Don't you? <br>But if you want me to stay, baby has to cry sometime <br>Don't be kind to me, I wanna walk away <br> <br>You're old enough to know <br>You're old enough to know <br>You're old enough to know <br>You're old enough to know <br> <br> <br>Something's changed, it's not that I fear but <br>Maybe it's that I took care of you too many times <br>And you grew weaker for a kindness<br><!-- stopprint -->
