[Verse 1:]
+
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.
+
[Chorus:]
+
Thanks for my child,
+
I'm really thanking you, the man above
+
Thanks for my child
+
You brought me so much joy
+
This bundle of love
+
(Thanks for my child)
+
And though your father, He ran away free.
+
The love I have for you baby, Is the love I have in me
+
Mm
+
[Verse 2:]
+
I'll stay and watch you grow,
+
I will stay and will watch you grow
+
Yes I will!
+
I'll raise you by myself, A one woman show
+
You make life worth singing a song
+
You make life worth singing a song
+
With you right here with me,
+
I'll have the strength to go on
+
[Chorus:]
+
Ohhhhh,
+
Thanks for my child, thanks for my child,
+
I'm really thanking you, the man above
+
(Thanks for my child)
+
You brought me so much joy
+
This bundle of love
+
(Thanks for my child)
+
I'll hold you in my arms, I hold you close to me
+
Rock a bye my baby, I'll rock you to sleep
+
[Verse 3:]
+
I understand your language, Your baby talk
+
You forgot to crawl, Before you walked
+
There you are just looking so beautiful
+
And all the while, you're wrapped in blankets
+
You are my love child.
+
[Bridge:]
+
Thanks for my child
+
Here we are to today, the years gone on by
+
(Thanks for my child)
+
You grew before my eyes, time after time
+
(Thanks for my child)
+
And though your daddy, He ran away free
+
The love I have for you baby
+
Is the love I have in me
+
Inside of me
+
The love I have in me
+
[Conversation: Shirley Murdock]
+
I just know, I'll never let you go, no, no
+
No, no, noooooo ohhhhhh eeey
+
Cause you're my sweet baby
+
Poppa can't preach, Papa was a rolling stone because
+
He left his beautiful, Cause he left his beautiful, Cause he left us all alone
+
But that's OK cause I'm you mother baby
+
I carried you for 9 months, And I'm gonna carry you
+
Until you can carry yourself... On your own
+
I love you sweetheart
