I'd Rather Be a Baby

Ingemar Olsson

You look at your life only passing by
You work every day, but you don’t know why
Your visions and dreams are all dead and gone
Just trying to carry on

Well, if that’s the life that I’m leading
A grownup to the end
I’d rather be a baby
And try it all again

To get out of bed with an aching back
To live on the brink of a heart-attack
There’s money to make, but a price you pay
You lose yourself on the way
Well, if that’s ....

You envy the things that your neighbour has
The house and the car and the razzmatazz
You long for a grass of a greener kind
The kind you never find

Well, if that’s the life that I’m leading
A grownup to the end
I’d rather be a baby
And try it all again

If heaven is something your mind forbids
’Cause heaven is only for little kids
You’ll live all your life on a lonely isle
And then you’ll lie down and die

Well, if that’s the life that I’m leading
A grownup to the end
I’d rather be a baby
And try it all again
