Ooh, yeah
You came into my life
You just made everything right
And even though my man has left me behind
I don't regret a thing for having you
Thanks for my childI'm really thanking youThe man aboveThanks for my childYou brought me so much joyThis bundle of love (thanks for my child)And though your father, he ran away freeThe love I have for you, babyIs the love I have in me, mm
Ooh, ohI'll stay and watch you grow(I'll stay and watch you grow) yes, I willI'll raise you by myselfA one-woman showYou made life worth singing a song(You made a life worth singing a song)With you right here with meI'll have the strength to go on, oh
Thanks for my childI'm really thanking youThe man above (thanks for my child)You brought me so much joyThis bundle of love (thanks for my child)I'll hold you in my armsI hold you close to meRock-a-bye, my babyI'll rock you to sleep
Whoa-ohI understand your languageYour baby talkYou forgot to crawl, before you walkedThere you are just looking so beautifulAnd all the whileYou're wrapped in blanketsYou are my love child
Thanks for my childHere we are todayThe years go on byThanks for my childYou grew before my eyesTime after time (thanks for my child)And though your daddy, he ran away freeThe love I have for you, babyIs the love I have in me
Inside of meThe love I have in me, ohOhI just know I'll never let you goNo, no, no, no, no, oh, yeah'Cause you're my sweet baby
Papa can't preachPapa was a rolling stone (because he left his beautiful)Because he left his beautiful ('cause he left us all alone)But that's okay, 'cause I'm your mother, babyI carried you for nine monthsAnd I'm gonna carry youUntil you can carry yourself on your own
I love you, sweetheartI love you too, mommy
