I Had A Baby
Sinead O'Connor · Other Songs - Sinead O'Connor
A bald headed baby, he's been the makings of me
His eyes are so mean, just like you
But you haven't seen him
And I don't know what to tell him
I don't know what to tell him!
I had a thing with a man and he wasn't mine to be with
I woke up one green day with him up inside me, hey
That did excited me, and I was crazy
I was always crazy!
But I had a baby, so I'm never sorry!
He's been the makings of me
And when he asks, I'll tell him
That you love him, but you can't be his
And when he says why
Why I said, don't know why
Because I don't know why!
You should suffer instead of me
Over shit that's because of me
I wish it wasn't so crazy
Broke my mind tell this time
But I had a baby, so beautifully
He's been the makings of me
I had a fling with a man who wasn't mine to be with
I woke up one green day with him up inside me, hey
That did excited me, and I was crazy
I was always crazy!
