lyrics

I had never once taken off my cap
For anybody
Now I'm hat in hand kneeling at her lap
Each time she calls me
I was a lone wolf; she called me indoors
Where I still linger,
At her tiny feet begging one treat more
From her sweet fingers

I'm a child again before this little doll
Whose eyes close when you lie by her side
I'm a child again before this little doll
Who cries for mama when you hold her tight

I was cold as ice but she melted me
Before I knew it
Her lips fed the fire I fell willingly
Burning into it
Teeth flash pearly white every time she smiles
Or she sings to you
But she's a she-wolf when you get her riled
Best watch what you do

I'm a child again before this little doll
Whose eyes close when you lie by her side
I'm a child again before this little doll
Who cries for mama when you hold her tight

I can still recall running wild and free
Those days are over
She's the jealous queen of all that I see
And takes what's owed her
One poor pretty girl I looked at one day
With too much feeling
That one pretty girl who dared look my way
She sent home reeling

I'm a child again before this little doll
Whose eyes close when you lie by her side
I'm a child again before this little doll
Who cries for mama when you hold her tight

All the innocents and the wise men say
That lost in her charms
When with my last breath my last prayer I pray
I'll be in her arms
Your love may be foul, your love may be fair
But once love's met you
If it gets you here or it gets you there
Love's going to get you

I'm a child again before this little doll
Whose eyes close when you lie by her side
I'm a child again before this little doll
Who cries for mama when you hold her tight
