"Children Say" is a song by English jazz-funk band Level 42.

Written by Mark King, Mike Lindup and Phil Gould, it was the final single to be issued from their album, Running in the Family (1987).

The song made the top 30 in the UK, and the top 10 in the Netherlands, and followed a series of successes with the hits "Lessons in Love", "Running in the Family", "To Be with You Again" and "It's Over".

The video of the song was the first of Level 42's career not to feature the brothers Phil and Boon Gould, who had recently left the band.

The Gould brothers are also missing from the sleeve of the single.
