lyrics

I don't want to be your baby
If you don't want me
Cause I'd need you
mornings through nights
I want a welcome
that you're ready to feel
Coz A baby should be wanted
to can make it all right

I know you're stressed out
No money for rent
And the guy you slept with
Says it isn't his
(5)You're working three jobs
(6)At school till late at night
But a baby should be wanted
to grow up all right

vs 2
I don't want to be a burden
or ruin your dreams
Or live with a longing
Where love's s'posed to be
I want good attention
So I can thrive
Cause a baby should be wanted
to grow up all right

I know you're young or
You've got other kids
Don't want to look like the rapist
Or your father who slipped in
Giving birth is fraught
And health care is a fight
And a baby should be wanted
to make it all right

vs.3
I don't want to be unwanted
and born in the states
There's no help for families
And the schools are not safe
I'd rather be in Norway
Where the parents get paid
Coz A baby should be wanted
who can make it all right

It's your life, I want
a mama who's free
Whose got what she needs
And has enough for me
If you're not ready
then now's not the the time
Cuz a baby should be wanted
to grow up all right.
