Backstreet Boys
Like a Child
[Verse 1: AJ]
If I could right
The wrongs that made you cry
Girl, would you promise not to say goodbye?
Oh-oh, 'cause I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take the day without you by my side

[Pre-Chorus 1: Brian]
Girl, if I could change
If I could change your mind
Maybe you could help me
Wipe these tears from my eyes

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Girl, don't stop (Don't stop)
The sun from shining down on me
(Oh shining down on me, yeah)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (Your smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child

[Verse 2: Brian & All]
Girl, I can't belong and I won't be free
If I fail to bring your loving back to me
Oh back to me (Oooh)
So I'm pressing on, I hope you understand
That there's a broken heart
That lies within your hands
[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & Brian]
So if I could change
(So if I could change)
And it won't hurt your pride
(And it won't hurt your pride)
Baby you can help me
Stop these tears from my cries

[Chorus: All, AJ & Brian]
Girl, don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
(Shining down on me)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (Your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child

[Bridge: All, AJ & Brian]
Like a child, just like a child
With the spirits running free
She drove me wild, oh she did
Like a child, just like a child
Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a child, yeah
[Guitar solo]

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Girl, don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
(Shining down on me)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (Your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child
Girl, don't stop (Oh!)
The sun from shining down on me
(Shining down on me, yeah)
'Cause I can't face another day
Without your smile (Oh your pretty smile)
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child

[Outro: Brian & AJ]
Baby, our love will last forever
I know that we will stay together
'Cause I love you so much
I need you so much
You're my love, we'll last forever
Baby, our love will last forever
I know that we will stay together
'Cause I love you so much
I need you so much
You're my love, we'll last forever
