Like Children I Have Known

They're dividing up their playthings 
This is yours, this is mine 
They're dividing up the bedroom 
With an imaginary line. 

One is running back to mother 
One just wants to be alone 
They will cry and pout and walk out 
Just like children I have known. 
Just like children I have known. 

Chorus: 
They're not wiser, they're just grown 
It's not a chocolate ice cream cone 
It's not a doll-house, it's a home 
Just like children I have known. 

Almost down to sticks and stones 
They'll be lost out on their own 
Just like children I have known 
Just like children I have known. 

And they're gonna cry their eyes out 
Once they find out what they've done 
Cause their hearts aren't made of candy 
That they eat what the other wants. 

It could be a happy ending 
They don't have to live alone 
They could kiss and hug and make up 
Just like children I have known 
Just like children I have known. 

Chorus: 
They're not wiser, they're just grown 
It's not a chocolate ice cream cone 
It's not a doll-house, it's a home 
Just like children I have known...
