Do you remember when we was kids?
I do
Listen, let me tell you something
Only a child can really love
Listen

When I was only four
You were the girl next door
And I loved you so

(Passed a love note to ya
Asking, could I come to see ya
But you would not say)

I only wanted to play
But you would run away
I couldn't get you to say, girl

(To say, I love you
I'm asking of you
But you never would look my way, hey)

Let me tell you something

Only a grown man would cry
Little children don't lie

Only the children love
Only time they touch you it's with love

I used to carry your books
Little girl I was hooked on your cute little smile

You used to wink one eye

Remember what we did (remember what we did)
When we were little kids?
It used to drive me wild, hmm

Only a grown man would cry
Little children don't lie
And that's the reason why

(Only a child can love)

Only
Only a child can love
Only
Only a child can love
Only
Only a child can love
Only
Only a child can love

When you was a kid
(Only)
I know what you did (only a child can love)
Yes, I do, yes, I do
(Only) only
(Only a child can love)
Only a baby will run you crazy
(Only
Only a child can love)

You little teeny tot
I love just what you got
You got such a pure heart

(Search in your heart
You're bound to fall apart
That was there from the start)

When you were very young
You hadn't got no one
We had a love since a-
Now that I'm growing old (now that I'm growing old)
I know you're love is gold (you're love is gold)
Just to really know

Only
Only a child can love
(Only little children love, ooh)
Only
Only a child can love
Only
Only a child can love
(Well, well, well, well)
Only
Only a child can love
(Not like their daddy, they love me better)
Only
Only a child can love
(Love is in store, I sure wish that a-)
Only
Only a child can love
(A child again, you would never end)
Only
Only a child can love
(Only little kids can love
Handling the guitar)
Only
Only a child can love

When little kids love
You know they push and shove
