Just a Little Boy (For Chester Burnett) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I sleep in the belly of a woman
And I sleep in the belly of a man
And I sleep in the belly of rhythm
And I sleep in the belly of love
I sleep in the belly of oceans
I sleep in the belly of truth
I sleep in the belly of kindness
And I sleep in the belly of you
[Verse 2]
I'm just a little boy
I'm just a little boy (*laughter*)
I'm just a little boy
Just a - just a little boy
Just a, just a
[Refrain]
I need love!
I need love! (*laughter*)
I need love!
[Bridge]
I, I, I, I'm just a, just a, just a, just a, just a
[Verse 3]
I'm not human
I'm not human (*laughter*)
I'm not human
I'm not - I'm not human, no
[Refrain]
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love
[Verse 4]
Shut it, shut it all
Shut it! Shut it!
Shut it!
I'm just a-
[Outro]
Living in wonderland
Living in wonderland
Living in wonderland
Living in wonderland
