节奏布鲁斯:Samantha Mumba - Only Just Begun

Can we be 5 years-old forever¹? Forever
Can we be 5 years-old forever? Forever
This is a song to the five year-old me
Little girl weren’t you so pretty?
Big heart, bigger than your worries
So sure of what your life would be
Yeah, you came and you saw
And you broke down the walls
Yeah, you came and you saw
And you lost it all
Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you’ll lose
Sometimes you’ll break, sometimes you’ll bruise²
Sometimes you’ll give the best you got
Still you don’t care what you want
As I lay me down to sleep
I hear a little voice in me
Say we’ve only just begun
Say we’ve only just begun
Years pass, tears³ cried
And the smiles wash them away
Bittersweet you’ve become
You can run but can’t escape⁴
And even though your rainbow is fading⁵
Nothing in this world ever changes
You can either love it or hate it
And you can either give it or take it
Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you’ll lose
Sometimes you’ll break, sometimes you’ll bruise
Sometimes you’ll give the best you got
Still you don’t care what you want
As I lay me down to sleep
I hear a little voice in me
Say we’ve only just begun
Say we’ve only just begun
Can we be 5 years-old forever? Forever
Can we be 5 years-old forever? Forever
Can we be 5 years-old forever? Forever
Can we be 5 years-old forever? Forever
Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you’ll lose
Sometimes you’ll break, sometimes you’ll bruise
Sometimes you’ll give the best you got
Still you don’t care what you want
As I lay me down to sleep
I hear a little voice in me
Say we’ve only just begun
Say we’ve only just begun
Say we’ve only just begun
Say we’ve only just begun
