Baby Maybe?
I sat up all night afraid of the answer, I peed on a stick does that
seal my faith forever? Honestly tell me we were in love and then I will feel so
much better.
You said you wanted me the whole me, I said you complete me and then
we finished it.
I never meant for this to occur this new life that is struggling to
survive, mommy needs, mommy wants, but what does this little thing ask? I can feel
it as I touch my tummy it's like it's vibrating almost the same sound that my heart
made when we hit extasy and i'll never forget.
It was supposed to special, it was supposed to be real you told me you wanted this and
now your pointing fingers at me.
I am desprately trying to hold on to something that I never really had, I heard about
the other girls is that why you don't want to be a daddy? Am I holding you down, am I
tying you up? I can do this on my own if you don't feel up to it.
It's the future it's here and i'm sad to say it can go either way... do you want to be
included in it or do I have to trash your name but never call you daddy? I cried a
million tears, my well is dry and my baby is trembling.
She needs you and I need you I want this to be perfect. No more chasing after an image
that was supposed to be us.
I can't excape this not without causing some strange disaster.
The girl looks up and glances at the stick and it turns out that it's negative, she
smiles to herself and then she gets sad she walks to the telephone to make a phone call
that would end all the madness.
