was born in Illinois, just a tiny baby Little tiny baby boy way back in Illinois Learned to talk when I was one, learned to walk soon after Taking steps and making noise I learned to look for laughter Started school when I was 5 I kissed the girls much later Had a crush on Amy but I was too young to date her Failing at the age of 5 to prove myself a man So I started violin, the flutophone and piano When I was in the 4th grade I fell for Miss Shapiro Started reading Superman and he became my hero Even though I couldn't fly I did what I was able Leaping in a single bound right from the kitchen table Flying through the house pretending sister was my villain Fighting through the years until she turned me on to Dylan That took care of Superman in favor of the stereo Chad and Jeremy, oh my, and Peter, Paul and Mary, ohEntered in the working world at 13 years of age Ten bucks every Saturday was my working wageMy best friend in high school taught me the guitar, oh We spent every minute like there was no tomorrow Every day we'd sing together, music was our past time Swearing to each other that there'd never be a last time But age would have us witness our relationship unravel He took off for business school and I went off to travel Letras de cancionesAt 20 I went overseas looking for direction I discovered I was only starving for affection So I came home to see the girl who wrote me loving letters But when I showed she changed her mind and I had to forget her Got a job working in some warehouse for the city Empty handed lover boy all buried in self-pity I learned a lesson, yes I did, I'll not do that again Falling for a stranger fails nine time out of ten So I became Alaska bound, oh I was 23 then Many different jobs I found, oh I was very free then First was advertising, then psychology Then I heard the music call and that was it for me Something in those melodies and being on a stage Exciting to my soul, it was the time I came of age Found what I was looking for, perhaps what I was given Entertaining thoughts of entertaining for a living Then I went to New York town, got a steady girl With all the oysters I had found she had the only pearl True to form I took my time and she was gone one day Sometimes you don't know what you've got until it's got away We never had much money but that never had much meaning We always had our choices and we did our share of dreaming We had come to be just like a hand inside a glove, oh Living in this world today you need someone to love And that's what I have learned in all these years I've told you of, oh Living in this world today you need someone to loveLiving in this world today you need to know your love From Letras Mania
