You're like a child

You're like a child
Ask me to write you a song
Never give me a damn
There are lots of pain in me will start over again
They'll start again, they'll start again, they'll start again

Writing song is easy
Describing you is hard
Worry that once I write
The persistence that I have for wanting you
All will be dug out by you
All will be dug out, All will be dug out

Decision was made
It's no way to turn back
It's clear to myself
There are lots of pain in me, will start over again
They'll start again, they'll start again, they'll start again

To decide is easy
Waiting is too hard
Worry that once I wait
All the maturity and sedateness learned throughout the years
All will be dissolved, All will be dissolved, All will be dissolved

Working hard is easy, making money is difficult.
Having an affair is easy, maintaining family is difficult.
Loving you is easy, getting along is difficult.
Decision is easy, but waiting is always hard.

You’re like a child
You’re like a child
Ask me to write you a song
You’re like a child

Myth of Lilith

According to Jewish folklore, Lilith was the first wife of Adam.  She was created at the same time and from the same earth as Adam.  She was banished from the Garden of Eden when she refused to make herself subservient to Adam (specifically, she refused to get into the missionary position with him during sex).  When she was cast out, she was made into a demon figure, and Adam was given a second wife, Eve, who was fashioned from his rib to ensure her obedience to her man.

Lilith's existence as a historical person depends on a reading of Genesis 1 apart from Genesis 2. The woman created as Adam's equal in Genesis 1 is said to be Lilith and the woman created subservient (from Adam's rib) in Genesis 2 is said to be Eve.


According to the myth of Lilith, she left Adam because he insisted that she submit to him. She spoke the Divine Name and gained such power that she became an angel, but when God told her to return to Adam, she refused and became a demon. She is cast as the epitome of the evil seductress who works in league with Satan to torment and destroy Adam's offspring.

Lilith is not mentioned in Genesis because insinuating her presence overthrows the biblical picture of Adam and Eve living close to the Creator in Paradise. This paradise was lost due to disobedience of God's command given to them 'not to eat', not because Lilith refused to take the missionary position with Adam.
