I knew you'd starve in heaven
And I'd pray for your release
There's an angel at my table
And a devil up my sleeve

With nothing on-
Nothing but a smile
Nothing on-
Nothing but a smile

I knew your prize was empty
And that they're waiting on your need
Piano white and wide and empty
I don't even want to know what that means

Why d'you wanna know?
You are nothing but a child
Why d'you wanna know?
You are nothing but a child

Will it come back to me
Will it come running to me
Will it come back to me, oh
Will it come back to me
Will it come back to me
If it comes back to me, my love
Will it come back to me for long?
He'll not answer to your bidding
I just buried him last night
I'm still trying to force another
Needle in the camel's eye

Only why d'you wanna know?
You're still nothing but a child
Why d'you wanna know?
You are nothing but a child

Will it come back to me
Will it come back to me
Back to me, oh
Will it come back to me
Will it come back to me
If it came back to me, my love
Will it come back to me for long?

Oh, girl, you ought to know
You're still nothing but a child
And that you can't satisfy my heart
Of its so-called desire

Oh, you're nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child

You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child
You are nothing but a child

You ain't nothing but a child
You ain't nothing but a child
You ain't nothing but a child
You ain't nothing but a child
