Here I am not young or old but somewhere in the middle
How could I live so much life and know so little
Somewhere deep inside of me there's secrets hid
Confused and dislocated I'm a grown up kid
But I still like sleeping late and I'd rather play than work
Still rush through my food until my stomach hurts
I don't have much figured out but I understand
That I'm a little boy in the body of a man
Used to be so lonesome that I could not sleep
From breaking all the promises I would not keep
Trying to find some comfort in my restless plight
I called strangers friends and had some empty nights
But I still like sleeping late and I'd rather play than work
Still rush through my food until my stomach hurts
I don't have much figured out but I understand
That I'm a little boy in the body of a man
Then one day good fortune smiled to my surprise
I heard a sound that I could barely recognize
the sound I heard was laughter of my very own
And the woman sitting across from me had brought it on
Ever since that day I've kept her by my side
We fell in love and she agreed to be my bride
But real love isn't like the fairy tales we're told
With a little luck and patience we might keep it whole
And I still like sleeping late and I'd rather play than work
Still rush through my food until my stomach hurts
I don't have much figured out but I understand
That I'm a little boy in the body of a man
I'm a little boy in the body of a man
