Like China (Live From Dallas 1985) - Phil Collins

Written by：Phil Collins

My mom and daddy both say

I must be crazy to be this infatuated

But I know you know

We got something special never felt before

You get me going just looking at you

And the feeling's not hard to recognize so

Alright I'll come out in the open with it

Will you walk out with me

'Cause you're the first girl I've ever loved

Tell me do you feel the same way

Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest

'Cause I know who I am

Your skin is smooth as silk and your eyes like stars

You're just like a picture book standing there

But I can't go on

No I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do

I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china

I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china

You won't feel nothing I'll hold you like china

'Cause I know it's your first time

Your mom and dad don't like me

And they tell me every time I call around to see you

I don't know why

'Cause I always straighten my tie and comb my hair

I know your brother thinks that

I'm a limp wristed wimp from the other side of town

I know he's got me wrong

Because I'm really not like that I'll tell you why

You're the first girl I've ever loved

Tell me do you feel the same way

Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest

'Cause I know who I am

I remember the very first time I held your hand

And that was the last time you were so close to me

But I can't go on

No I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do

I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china

I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china

You won't feel nothing I'll hold you like china

'Cause I know it's your first time

I know you know and now I wanna I wanna tell everybody

I know you know and now I want them all to see

Do you see do you see

Tell me do you see

Do you see

Cause you see that all

I know you know and now I know she knows

I need know

I know and that now I didn't know

I know I know and now you know she knows

I didn't know

You know that I know I didn't know

You know you know and now that know you know
