Style Council – SPEAK LIKE A CHILD

Your hair hangs in golden steps

You’re a bonafide in every respect

You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you

You believe you’re above it and I don’t really blame you

Maybe that’s why you speak like a child;

The things you’re saying like “I’m so free and so wild”

And I believe it when you look in my eyes;

You offer me a life, and never lies

Least only the kind to make me smile

Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive

It shops in store where only the best buy

You’re cool and hard, and if I sound like a lecher

It’s probably true,

But at least there’s no lecture

I really like it when you speak like a child

The crazy sayings like “I’m so free and so wild”

You have to make a bargain with me now

A promise that you won’t change somehow

No way, now how

Spent all day thinking about you

Spent all night coming to terms with it

Time and conditions are built to tame

Nothing lasts with age, so people say

But I will always try to feel the same

I really like it when you speak like a child

I really like it when you speak like a child

The way you hate the homely rank and the file

The way you’re so proud to be oh, so free and so wild

I really like it when you speak like a child

I really like it when you speak like a child

I really like it when you speak like a child

The way you’re so proud to be oh, so free and so wild
