Old Enough - Rickie Lee Jones

Something’s changed, it’s not that I fear but

Maybe it’s that I took care of you too many times

And you grew weaker for a kindness

And sometimes kindness from a friend can break a man

I can understand you sit there like a child, man

I never meant to make you cry and I’m so sorry

I’d turn the clock but tell me, tell me how can I?

You’re old enough to know

You’re old enough to know

Why do you shun me when I treat you with respect?

You’ve been my best friend, joy and happiness

But without a tender kiss sometimes

We may as well say goodbye

'Cause late at night as the cars go by

I lay here, I watch you try

To pretend you’re not breaking inside

For someone to sing in your ear

I can understand when you sit there like a child and beg

Don’t you?

But if you want me to stay, baby has to cry sometime

Don’t be kind to me, I wanna walk away

You’re old enough to know

You’re old enough to know

You’re old enough to know

You’re old enough to know
