What's there that makes you want to be lonely?
What's there to keep you sitting at home?
He'd always say
"No, no, no"
As if he wanted you to be hungry
Well the same things you're missing
Could get you into something else
Better leave when the stay is only
Nothing but being alone

What I wanted you to know

These kid things
Seem like nothing at all
Kid things
Make it better than it was
Kid things
Seem like nothing at all
Kid things
Make it better than it was

Hey what you got
That makes you wanna be a-lonely?
Hey what you got
That makes it a better way to be?
(A better way to be)
She said, "No, no, no,
I can't get any love and it's a Sunday"
(It's a Sunday)
I said "Oh yeah,
What makes you think I wanted it that way?"
'Cause one or two more smiles from you
And I don't need anything else

What I wanted you to know

Is kid things
Seem like nothing at all
Kid things
Make it better than it was
We just kids
Who spend all night on the phone
It's a kid thing
But I sleep better when I'm not alone

And what I want right now
Is just
Some...
More...
Gimmie more...

And what you think is
You're not getting any younger
What I know is that
You're not really very old
I know you wanna say,
"No, no, no,
And, "It feels much better in the summer"
Well if it isn't one way of sittin'
Then kitten come on in out of the cold
'Cause all I know is an hour with you
And, well, I don't need anything else

What I wanted you to know

These kid things
Seem like nothing at all
Kid things
Make it better than it was
We just kids
We spend all night on the phone
It's a kid thing
So I sleep better when I'm not alone

Kid things
Seem like nothing at all
Kid things
Make it better than it was
We just kids
It's just like drivin' a car
It's a kid thing
And the further out
The closer in you are
