Like China - Lyrics by Phil Collins


Lyrics
My mom and daddy both say
\r
I must be crazy to be this infatuated
\r
But I know you know
\r
We got something special never felt before
\r
You get me going just looking at you
\r
And the feeling's not hard to recognise so
\r
Alright I'll come out in the open with it
\r
Will you walk out with me.
\r

\r
Cos you're the first girl I've ever loved
\r
Tell me do you feel the same way
\r
Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest
\r
Cos I know who I am
\r

\r
Your skin is smooth as silk and your eyes like stars
\r
You're just like a picture book standing there
\r
But I can't go on
\r
No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way that I do
\r

\r
I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china
\r
I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china
\r
You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china
\r
'Cos I know it's your first time
\r

\r
Your mum and dad don't like me
\r
And they tell me every time I call around to see you
\r
I don't know why
\r
Cos I always straighten my tie and comb my hair
\r
I know your brother thinks that
\r
I'm a limp wristed wimp from the other side of town
\r
I know he's got me wrong
\r
Because I'm really not like that, I'll tell you why
\r

\r
You're the first girl I've ever loved
\r
Tell me do you feel the same way
\r
Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest
\r
'Cos I know who I am
\r

\r
I remember the very first time I held your hand
\r
And that was the last time you were so close to me
\r
But I can't go on
\r
No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do
\r

\r
I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china
\r
I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china
\r
You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china
\r
'Cos I know it's your first time
\r

\r
I know you know and now I want to, I want to tell everybody
\r
I know you know and now I want them all to see...
\r
