Child of Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen
Life is slowing down but it’s still b!tchin’
I got myself a rod but I could break it
My back is still as strong as I can make it
[Pre-Chorus]
Plus you’re mine
So who would rush right through this child of mine
[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
[Verse 2]
Everything you want is in your reach right now
And anything that’s not I have to teach somehow
Everything about you is intuitive
So those who miss the point might rush right through it
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause it’s fine
But I don’t want to miss it child of mine
[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
[Verse 3]
Last night in your sleep you started crying
I can’t protect you there, though I keep trying
Sometimes you’ll go places I can’t get to
But I’ve spoken to the angels who’ll protect you
[Pre-Chorus]
Because you’re mine
They cast this golden light across this child
[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
[Bridge]
Long nights, fast years so they say
Time won’t ever feel the same
And I don’t want to miss it
No I don’t want to miss it
And I’m not gonna miss it child of mine
[Chorus]
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
Child of mine
