Tell you a story
Hey, yeah
Listen y'all
Girl I know you think that it's me you're hurtin'
By denying me the right
Take part in his life
That ain't fare 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, yeah
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,
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
'Fore its 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 its 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 as every bit as much as you
So just try to put yourself in my shoes
'Cause if you were me what 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
'Fore its 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 regret
For the sake of that boy
Lets forgive and forget
And I know that its 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 babe
Now let me see my child
'Fore its 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 got to see my child
Your hurting him your hurting him
Child, he needs me in his life
Child, I gotta show him how to be man
I gotta see him I want to see him
