Inner Child

Two men down the block are making out with their lights on

I'm pretending not to see

Carl said to always go to bed

Before temptation hits and you're forced to fall on your knees

And this inner child of mine just wants to feel fine

Just wants to please and be pleased

Do I think I'm immature enough to get what I request?

I just want someone to sob into and hold me to their chest

And this inner child of mine just wants to pick up the pieces

Hot glue 'em back together again

Calmness eludes me

As long as I drink 4 cups of caffeine

But I can't say, "no", have no self-control

For liquid energy

And this inner child of mine

Just wants to stay up all night tumbling on the carpet with him

And this inner child of mine

Just wants to poke all my feelings, laugh my opinions to the ground

Oh, child, where did you go?

I need you running the show

Oh, child, where did you go?

I need you running the show

And this inner child of mine

This inner child of mine

This inner child of mine

Oh, child, where did you go?

I need you running the show
