Like A Child

(album: Backstreet's Back - 1997)

If I could right
The wrongs that made you cry
Girl, would you promise not to say goodbye?
Oh-oh, 'cause I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take the day without you by my side

Girl, if I could change
If I could change your mind
Maybe you could help me
Wipe these tears from my eyes

Girl, don't stop (don't stop)
The sun from shining down on me
(Oh shining down on me, yeah)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (your smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child

Girl, I can't belong and I won't be free
If I fail to bring your loving back to me
Oh back to me (ooh)
So I'm pressing on, I hope you understand
That there's a broken heart
That lies within your hands

So if I could change
(So if I could change)
And it won't hurt your pride
(And it won't hurt your pride)
Baby you can help me
Stop these tears from my cries

Girl, don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
(Shining down on me)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child

Like a child, just like a child
With the spirits running free
She drove me wild, oh she did
Like a child, just like a child
Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a child, yeah

Girl, don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
(Shining down on me)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child
Girl, don't stop (oh!)
The sun from shining down on me
(Shining down on me, yeah)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (oh your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child

Baby, our love will last forever
I know that we will stay together
'Cause I love you so much
I need you so much
You're my love, we'll last forever
Baby, our love will last forever
I know that we will stay together
'Cause I love you so much
I need you so much
You're my love, we'll last forever
