Baby Face - About Face

To you it may seem
That I'm grumpy or mean
Or that I cry a lot

The truth I fear 
Is so very near
And it all explains a lot

The face you see
Is not really me
I know you know me not

The truth, with wit
Is about what I did
In this itsy bitsy cot

My pants, too late
Is warm with weight
And really smells a lot!

So, hey, put down that phone
And leave me alone
Or help this tiny tot!
