Chorus: ------- But how do you thank someone/ Who has taken you from crayons to perfume? My little brown-eyed girl/ Living in my own world/ I wanna take some time to let you know/ That I find it incredible that you were there for me/ When nobody was/ And still nobody does/ But it doesn't matter, because we've always had us/ Looking in your eyes, I can trust/ I never wanted it to be this way/ You gotta understand/ That it's hard growing and becoming a man/ We used to hold hands/ Since the days of school/ Always tell my man's it wasn't that way with you/ Smiling at the little things you'd do/ But I was more like the big brother type/ Had to act responsible/ And I begin to get the picture/ Becoming best friends with my best friend's little sister/ I miss her, when I think about the time we shared/ But now we're both growing up, and yo, we're almost there/ I used to run with the girl next door/ Summer nights, looking at starlight through black doors/ I used to wonder what this all was for. (Chorus) Another decade/ Another life lesson/ Mind of innocence in a body of transgression/ Today I'm consumed in thought/ Walking under overcast skies, feeling like I forgot/ The sentiments we shared/ Dared to go where we had not before/ But now we live in this cold war/ That's the price that you pay/ When you play with the emotions of other human beings/ I'm sorry/ If I composed a poem for every girl I've wronged/ I'd be contemplating forever, pen a thousand songs/ Take flight at midnight if I could erase harm/ And turn back the pages of time, to re-write my wrongs/ But/ It isn't easy as it seems/ To unbreak the heart that was broken believe me/ If I could take what was taken/ Undo your heart breaking/ I'd still be your little brown-eyed man in the making. (Chorus)
