Lyrics
C’mon!
I, am a little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fire
You are a look in your eye
A dream passing by in the sky
But I don’t understand
And all I need, is treat me like a man
‘Cause I ain’t no child
Take me like I am
I got to know that I belong to you
I do anything that you want to do
I’ll sing any so song that you want me to sing to you
I don’t need no aggravation
I just got to make you
Got, I said listen, I just got to make you, yes, my occupation
I got to know that I belong to you
I’d do anything that you want to do
I’d sing any song that you want me to sing to you
All I need is your whispered hello
Smiles melting the snow nothing heard
Your eyes are deeper than time
Say a love that won’t rhyme without words
So now I’ve lost my way
I need help to show me things to say
Give me your love before mine fades away
I got to know that I belong to you
Do anything that you want to do
Sing any song that you want me to sing to you
Oh, no, no
Oh, no, no
I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
All I want to do is stick with you
‘Cause I love you
