Lyrics

Don't Treat Me Like A Child

Don't Treat Me Like A Child

you think you know me but you're still in the dark
you see my hair my clothes but never see my heart
you're so intent that I learn from your mistakes
you've clipped my wings and locked me in a cage

If you think I'm meant to be like you , you've missed it by a mile
My life is not a canvas you can paint with your own style
Why do you judge me like a criminal on trial
I'm as much a man as you are so don't treat me like a child

I'm not a ball of clay to fit into your mold
most times I feel like a stray dog left out in the cold
you chose your own path, let me do the same
I'm sorry life's not what you dreamed but I'm not the one to blame

If you think I'm meant to be like you , you've missed it by a mile
My life is not a canvas you can paint with your own style
Why do you judge me like a criminal on trial
I'm as much a man as you are so don't treat me like a child

Don't you remember what it's like to be my age
Life's a feast before you and you're just longing for a taste
I understand the point of view you're trying to sell
But your best intentions have made my life a living hell

If you think I'm meant to be like you , you've missed it by a mile
My life is not a canvas you can paint with your own style
Why do you judge me like a criminal on trial
I'm as much a man as you are so don't treat me like a child

Don't Treat Me Like A Child
Don't Treat Me Like A Child
Don't Treat Me Like A Child
