The Proclaimers - Your Childhood lyrics

From birth to five, you're learning From five to ten, you're playing By the time you're fifteen You're never wrong But then you turn around And it's all gone, your childhood Now daddy knows what he's saying You're in my arms and i'm praying That i'll be given the strength and time To make yours just as happy as mine Your childhood Every morning Your crying ends my sleep I kid on i'm angry But it's not a feeling i can keep There's no light outside I don't care 'cos i know it's true That in our house The sun shines out of you You've got your mother's looks Your're a beautiful little girl You'll break boys hearts All over this world Then one day you'll walk out the door And i know you'll break mine You'll break mine From birth to five, you're learning From five to ten, you're playing By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong But then you turn around and it's all gone Your childhood So you're trying to talk Any day now you'll walk You'll be running around Make me act like a clown 'cos i live and i breathe For my little girl Our little girl The most important thing is this whole wide world Now daddy know what he's saying Your in my arms and i'm praying That i'll be given the strength an time To make yours just as happy as mine Your childhood
