Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You say you're going, but you don't say how long for

You say it's work, but I'm not sure

You say you love me, then you walk right out the door

I'm left here wanting more

Of course there's lots of things I could be getting on with

I'm never short of thing to do

This afternoon I made a papier-mâché fish, mum

I made it just for you

Please don't go

Stay here with me

It's not my fault

I'm only three, I'm only three, I'm only three

I'm only three, I'm only three, I'm only three

My social calendar is busier than yours

I've been out making lots of friends

You can't play with us, 'cause you're always off on tour

One day I hope you'll meet them

Please don't go

Stay here with me

It's not my fault

I'm only three, I'm only three, I'm only three

I'm only three, I'm only three, I'm only three

When things feel black and white

We'll do some coloring in

When you want to play

When you want to play with me

When things feel black and white

We'll do some coloring in

When you want to play

When you want to play with me

Please don't go (please don't go)

Stay here with me (here with me)

It's not my fault

I'm only three, I'm only three, I'm only three

I'm only three, I'm only three, I'm only three
