[Verse 1]
I'm just a child tryin' to be a woman
And you, ahh, you are a strange one
Tryin' to be my man
Ahh, lyin' here so close to me tryin'
I love you, I love you, I love you
[Chorus]
But it's so hard for me to be me
I wish I could give to you
I'd be free, I'd be free, I'd be free
Ahh, then I could be me
[Verse 2]
I'm just a child tryin' to be a woman
And you, ahh, you are a strange one
Tryin' to be my friend
Ahh, lyin' here telling me what you feel tryin'
I need you, I need you, I need you
[Chorus]
But it's so hard for me to be me
I wish I could live for you
I'd be free, I'd be free, I'd be free
Ahh, then I could be me
[Outro]
I'm just a child tryin' to be a woman
And you, ahh, you are a strange one
Tryin' not to be a child
