My Child - All-4-One
Girl I know you think that it's me you're hurtin'
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 that I don't deserve it
But for our child's sake don't make this mistake
Don't make him choose between us
Remember the words that I told you
He's gonna resent you when he's older
And trust me you don't want that kind of pain no no no
He's a part of me that you know you can't deny
And baby 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 babe
Now 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 to 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 need him every bit as much as you
So 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 babe
Now 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 things we did right
It may seem right now but soon you'll find out
Just who you're hurting babe
Now let me see my child
Before it's too late
His heart fills with hate
We've got to work it out
(We've got to)
Now let me see my child
(Child)
