Love for a Child (2023 Remaster) - Jason Mraz

Lyrics by：Jason Mraz/Martin Terefe/Sacha Skarbek

There's a picture on my kitchen wall

Looks like Jesus and his friends involved

There's a party getting started in the yard

And there's a couple getting steamy

In the car parked in the drive

Was I too young to see this with my eyes

And by the pool that night apparently

The chemicals weren't mixed properly

You hit your head

And then forgot your name

And then you woke up

At the bottom by the drain

And now your altitude

And memory's a shame

What about taking this

Empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough

It's probably because

When you're young

It's okay to be easily ignored

I like to believe it

Was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles

Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass

Was it mom who put my dad out

On his a*s or the other way around

Well I'm far too old to care about that now

What about taking this

Empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough

It's probably because when you're young

It's okay to be easily ignored

I like to believe it

Was all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce

I've been enjoying both my Christmases

And my birthday cakes

And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age

And they never check to see my grades

What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

What about taking this

Empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough

It's probably because when you're young

It's okay to be easily ignored

I love to believe it

Was all about love for a child

It was all about love
