If I Was a Kid Songtext
von Betty Wright

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

If I was a kid
I′d be crying 'cause Freddie socked me in the eye
Yes, I would now
But I′m not a kid so I'm crying 'cause your telling me goodbye (Bye, bye, baby)
I know you are now (Bye, bye baby)

And if I was a kid
I′d be crying ′cause Junior wouldn't let me ride his tricycle
No he wouldn′t now
But now I'm crying ′cause I-I can't be witcha
And this I know

So look at me now I know I′m loosin' your love
But if I was a kid
I'd be crying (Crying) crying (Crying) ′cause somebody stole my doll, oh, oh


And if I was a kid
I′d be crying 'cause momma wouldn′t take me
to the picture show
Said she wouldn't now
Or maybe because my daddy he wouldn′t take me to the candy store
No he wouldn't now

And if I was a kid
I′d get a kick out of watching cartoons, in my room
But now that you're gone this room is filled with nothing but gloom
That's all

Look at me now I′m down on my knees, baby
But If I was a kid I′d be crying, crying
'Cause Johnny wouldn′t let me ride
In his little red wagon
Hey, hey, hey

How I wish that I was still a kid (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh, how I wish that I was still a kid
I'd be skipping rope, yeah, telling jokes (Hey, hey, hey) running and playing
But instead you got me saying
Oh, oh, how I wish that I was still a kid, oh baby
How I wish that I was still a kid
I′d be having fun, yeah, learning how to run
I'd be skipping rope, oh baby, telling jokes, yeah

Oh woah, how I wish that I was still a kid
How I wish, how I wish
