As A Child - Lyrics by Suzanne Vega


Lyrics
As a child

You have a doll

You see this doll

Sitting in her chair


You watch her face

Her knees apart

Her eyes of glass

In a secretive stare


She seems to [X3]

Have a life


Pick up a stick

Dig up a crack

Dirt in the street

Becomes a town


All of the people

Depend on you

Not to hurt them

Or bang the stick comes down


And they seem to

They seem to [X2]

Have a life


As a child

You see yourself

And wonder why

You can't seem to move


Hand on the doorknob

Feel like a thing

One foot on the sidewalk

Too much to prove


And you learn to

You learn to [X2]

Have a life
