A Child with the Blues Erykah Badu

[Verse 1]
Could have never known that when losin
Could hurt you so very bad
Could have never known that when chosin
Would make you so very sad
I don't know what to do
I just feel so confused
I'm a child with the blues

[Verse 2]
Take your time, smell the flowers
Make a smile for yourself
Girl, don't make livin' so hard
So hard, So hard, I keep tellin' myself
Feels like I'm goin' nowhere
Sometimes it ain't all damn fair
A child with the blues

[Refrain]
Sisters, sisters
I know you're watchin me
There are a lot of games reachin for you constantly
When you think you're grown
You're entering the unknown
Baby, check yourself
Brace yourself
Protect yourself
Face yourself
