When did I last feel so much like a child?
You smiled so pitifully down on me
I stood with my hands at my side
Tongue-tied, but I am all-right, really – I’m all-right, really
Give it a minute, you’ll know everything:
Every passion, every pang
Each senseless impetus
On which my troubles hang
I’m not a man to be reasoned with
Just a thin-skinned simpleton
A clumsy little kid
Who’s fallen down again
When did I last feel so much like a child?
You smiled so pitifully down on me
I stood with my hands at my side
Tongue-tied, but I am all-right, really – I’m all-right, really
If there are astral rhapsodies
Fruit on the tress, surely I could be happy
If there are those who’d please me
Why am I not pleased? Why am I so uneasy?
Kindly creditors I can’t repay
Bright visitors of my dismay
Dotingly stroke my hair, saying
“There, there: things are not so bad, are they?”
“There, there: things are not so bad, are they?”
When did I last feel so much like a child?
You smiled so pitifully down on me
I stood with my hands at my side
Tongue-tied, but I am all-right, really
Tongue-tied, but I am all-right, really – I’m all-right, really
