Lyrics

She?s a Baby (With a Baby)

(Verse)
She?s seventeen years old, with a baby on the way. The man that she loves got up and went away. Often she cries every time she hears his name. No matter how hard she tries nothing seems to change. And he said he loved her, that she was the one, but she found out the hard way he was a young boy havin? fun.
(Chorus)
She?s a baby havin? a baby. Little girl becomes a lady. She?s out there afraid and all alone, and now she?s got to make it on her own.
(Verse)
There?s no way her parent?s would ever understand how their child can have a child, she?ll miss their guiding hand. So she packed up her bags and left with money she had saved. And she wondered if they?d miss her, and how she?d survive, but it all took a second seat when the baby did arrive.
(Chorus)
She?s a baby havin? a baby. The little girl becomes a lady. She?s out there afraid and all alone, and now she?s got to make it on her own.
(Verse)
How could such a little thing cause so much joy and pain, but when her baby smiles she knows it?s not all in vain. A minimum wage job barely seems to pay day-care, a one-room efficiency with a TV, bed and chair. Oh how she loved him, yes he was the one, she wished he could see all the damage he has done.

(Chorus)
She?s a baby havin? a baby. The little girl becomes a lady. She?s out there afraid and all alone, and she wishes she could go back home.
(Verse)
It?s a snowy Christmas Eve. There?re no presents and no tree. There?s a knock upon the door; she wonders who it could be. There stood her Mom and Daddy, with tears runnin? down their face. Her Daddy said he came to take his girls from this place. Oh how they missed her. They prayed every night. They would not give up their daughter, not without a fight.
(Chorus)
She?s a baby havin? a baby. Little girl becomes a lady. She?s out there afraid and all alone. She?s a baby. Little girl becomes a lady. She?s out there afraid and all alone, and she?s going on her way back home. And now the girls are on their way back home.
