The child in me again, he plays the fool Cry for joy, amen For after all, it's only love And the way you stir your coffee Like an angel in the morning Still you dare to change your mind You'll be sorry when it's over When you've had your taste of freedom Don't come crying on my shoulder Save your tears, don't mean much Is the guilty party me? I don't think so And it, it's no bed of roses lying here Tossing and turning Still you dare to change your mind You'll be sorry when it's over When you've had your taste of freedom Don't come crying on my shoulder And these, these years of love and giving surely Must be something to you Still you dare to change your mind You'll be sorry when it's over When you've had your taste of freedom Don't come crying on my shoulder Dare to change your mind You'll be sorry when it's over When you've had your taste of freedom Don't come crying on my shoulder Dare to change your mind You'll be sorry when it's over When you've had your taste of freedom Don't come crying on my shoulder
