Burned Child

Remember spring back in seventy-three, Didn't you forget to tell me something Between the devil and the deep blue sea, There was no place in your heart for me. Ahhh, I was alone, so alone, all alone and I grew up in the shade Ahhh, I was afraid, so afraid, When I saw you adding fuel to the flames. It brings a tear to my eye, how many silent tears must I cry, why ? A memory that refuses to die, And all the bad things to remember you by, why ? [Chorus] Burned child, burned child, me ! I still recall you how beat me up, And the punches felt like I was hit by a truck Always afraid, cry myself to sleep, And what about all the promises you didn't keep. Ahhh, I was alone, so alone, all alone and I grew up in the shade Ahhh, I was afraid, so afraid, When I saw you adding fuel to the flames. It brings a tear to my eye, how many silent tears must I cry, why ? A memory that refuses to die, And all the bad things to remember you by, why ? [Chorus x2] I close my eyes, kiss my teddy bear goodnight... goodnight... No, no, no, why ? Oh ,oh, oh, oh, no more ! It brings a tear to my eye, how many silent tears must I cry, why ? A memory that refuses to die, And all the bad things to remember you by, why ? [Chorus x3]
