Back in the schoolyard life wasn´t so hard, but I couldn´t wait to leave.
I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need.
I got into the job line, but there´s no work for my kind,
No school tie and no degree, no chance for me.

I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory.
I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don´t seem enough to me.
The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
You came along, the time was right - turned on the light.

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you´re leadin´ me astray, I´ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I´m in my second childhood, oh oh.

Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
After this deep depression, I shoulda´ learned my lesson
I found you in the nick of time, who´ll buy the wine?

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you´re leadin´ me astray, I´ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I´m in my second childhood, oh oh.

[Erik - Slide Solo]

It´s hard to act my age now, I´m going through that stage now.
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
Now I don´t feel so grown up, ´cause everytime you phone up,
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you´re leadin´ me astray, I´ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I´m in my second childhood, Oh oh, I´m in my second childhood,
yea-ee-ya,
I´m in my second childhood, whoa oh.
