| 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
|
| (conversation)
|
| 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 |
