Yellow light bulb, incandescent Cotton nightgown, soft and fragrant Don't put me down In the bathtub after dinner Swaddle me for twenty minutes Don't put me down You turn the lights out I'm all alone now My thumb in my mouth Oh, I need your love Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time I won't push you away Is it all dried up? Unconditional love? Can I taste it again? I need milk Underneath the kitchen table Pick me up and make a cradle Don't put me down You don't like the way I'm growing Lock the doors that used to open Don't put me down I threw my key out I'm all alone now Can I sleep at your house? Oh, I need your love Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time I won't push you away Is it all dried up? Unconditional love? Can I taste it again? I need milk Oh, I need your love (oh, I need your love) Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time I won't push you away (I won't push you away) Is it all dried up? Unconditional love? Can I taste it again? I need milk I don't know if I've been missing Something that never existed Don't put me down Let me back in from the wild I can be your golden child Don't put me down
