He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And then that night, between the sheets she told him
[Chorus]

Now we're living somewhere else
We keep opinions to ourselves
But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven
When the working week defeats us
[Pre-Chorus 3]
If you think growing up is tough
Then you've just not grown enough, baby
[Chorus] (x2)
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
You can't live your life in the baby seat
Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh
You can't live your life in the baby seat
Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh
