"Baby Boy"

Little hands, little feet

Tiny heart, tiny beat

Oh, thinkin' about the time we spent falling in love (in love)

I don't wanna leave you, I don't want him to see you

But oh, when mama cries from daddy's lies

Oh, my, please don't take him away, no, no, no

Ooh, don't take him away

Oh, 'cause I had my doubts, oh!

Don't take my baby boy

Don't take my pride and joy

I hope I stay close, I hope I stay close

All the pain, all the tears

Many nights, many years

This love for me is fading

You waited, but I never came home to you

I've never lied about us

We were never supposed to be together

When you see me with some other one

And they know your son

Oh, please don't take him away

You said you're wrong but you knew

Oh, cause I had my doubts, oh!

Don't take my baby boy

Don't take my pride and joy

I hope I stay close, I hope I stay close

There was a time before you

And there will be a time after you

With these vibes or not

Walk tall little one

Walk tall, walk tall

Let me hold you, let me hold you
