My Child

Girl I know you think that it's me you're hurting

By denying me the right

To take part in his life

That ain't fair to him

And it just ain't right

And I know you think I don't deserve it

But for our child's sake

Don't make this mistake

Don't make him choose between us (oh)

Remember the words that I told ya (yeah)

He's gonna resent ya when he's older

And trust me you don't want that kind of pain (nooo no no)

He's a part of me that you know you can't deny

No matter how hard you try

And when you look at him you'll see me in his eyes

It may seem right now

But soon you'll find out

Just who you're hurting baby

Let me see my child

Before it's too late

His heart fills with hate

We've got to work it out

Now let me see my child

You can't tell me he don't ever ask about me

Can you tell him the truth

About me and you

Or will you tell lies

Cause it's easy to do

You have to know that it's not a game

Cause I'm here to stay

This child bears my name

My blood runs through his veins

Just because you and I weren't happy

Doesn't change the fact that I'm his daddy

So swallow your pride

He needs me in his life

See I love him every bit as much as you (yes I do)

But just try to put yourself in my shoes

Cause if you were me

What would you do

It may seem right now

But soon you'll find out

Just who you're hurting baby

Let me see my child

Before it's too late

His heart fills with hate

We've got to work it out

Now let me see my child

Now I know

We both have regrets

For the sake of that boy

Let's forgive and forget

And I know

That it's easier to fight

But just look at him

You have to see

The thing we did right

It may seem right now

But soon you'll find out

Just who you're hurting baby

Let me see my child

Before it's too late

His heart fills with hate

We've got to work it out

Now let me see my child

(Child) Let me see my

(Child) I've got to see my

(Child) you're hurting him

(Child) you're hurting him

(Child) he needs me in his life

(Child) I've got to show him how to be a man

(Child) I've gotta see him, I wanna see him

(Child) Let me see him I wanna see my

(Child) Yeah My

(Child) Tell 'em D

I've got to see him

(Child) yeah
