Back in the schoolyard life wasn't so hard, but I couldn't wait to leave.
|
I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need.
|
I got into the job line, but there's no work for my kind,
|
No school tie and no degree, no chance for me.
|
|
I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory.
|
I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don't seem enough to me.
|
The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
|
You came along, the time was right - turned on the light.
|
|
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
|
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
|
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.
|
|
Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
|
I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
|
After this deep depression, I shoulda' learned my lesson
|
I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine?
|
|
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
|
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
|
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.

|
It's hard to act my age now, I'm going through that stage now.
|
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
|
Now I don't feel so grown up, 'cause everytime you phone up,
|
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.

|
|
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
|
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
|
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood,
|
yea-ee-ya,
|
I'm in my second childhood, whoa oh.
