lyrics

We’ve been sleeping for a million years
Our arms have not been open to receive
But if I wake, late at night
You could be there to ease the fright, and I could be
Held like a baby
Touched so gently
Held like a baby in your arms
Morning comes and there’s still no relief
It gets impossible to practice what I preach
Mummy can’t always kiss it better for you
Who’s looking after her if she’s always looking after you?
She’s got to be… Held like a baby
Touched so gently
She could be held like a baby in your arms
I try to be indifferent / Never showing my softer side
Pretending I don’t even care about you
There’d be no reason to cry
It wouldn’t hurt me when you lied
It couldn’t hurt me when you lied
We break so easily
With just one thought, just one word or just one deed
So please try to be tender with me
You never know when you might want to be
Held like a baby
Touched so gently
Held like a baby in my arms
