My beautiful child it’s selfish I know
But I want you at all times all to myself
Watching the news I can’t help myself feel
The world don’t deserve you
But I do, I do
My beautiful child I had a strange dream
Don’t even ask me what it all means
The world was on fire and the fire was blue
Yeah I’m still a child, just older than you
We’re thrown in this world without any idea,
Looking on in wonder, horror and fear
But we can find strength if we stick with each other
Yeah we can find love when we stick with one another
So beautiful child don’t ever leave me
Or just go ahead, just go and leave me
You know I don’t need you like you surely need me
You know I don’t need you I’m not that damn needy
Needy baby
Can’t you see without me you don’t have a damn hope no
Can’t you see I could thrive but you wouldn’t survive no
Oh my baby oh my baby child
Oh my darling oh my darling child
Will you ever love me like I ever love you child
And are you gonna break me like I'm gonna break you child
Oh my sweet child
And sometimes I wonder whether I shoulda’ had you
Whether it’s worth it, whether life is all worth it
Sometimes feel so guilty, sometimes feel so grateful
Don’t want you to end up, all messed up and hateful
But, you know, if I had a choice
I wouldn’t have given this up for a thing
And watching the news, I can’t help myself feel
The world don’t deserve you
At all.
