Rickie Lee Jones - Old Enough lyrics

Something's changed, it's not that I fear but Maybe it's that I took care of you too many times And you grew weaker for a kindness And sometimes kindness from a friend can break a man I can understand you sit there like a child, man I never meant to make you cry and I'm so sorry I'd turn the clock but tell me, tell me how can I? You're old enough to know You're old enough to know Why do you shun me when I treat you with respect? You've been my best friend, joy and happiness But without a tender kiss sometimes We may as well say goodbye 'Cause late at night as the cars go by I lay here, I watch you try To pretend you're not breaking inside For someone to sing in your ear I can understand when you sit there like a child and beg Don't you? But if you want me to stay, baby has to cry sometime Don't be kind to me, I wanna walk away You're old enough to know You're old enough to know You're old enough to know You're old enough to know
