Thanks For My Child Lyrics

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
Thank for my child
I'm really thankin' 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 daddy he ran away free
The love I have for you, baby
Is the love I have in me

Mmm...hmm...
Ooh...oh...oh...

I'll stay and watch you grow {I'll stay}, yes, I will {And watch you grow}
I'll raise you by myself, one woman show
You made life worth singing a song {You made life worth singin' a song}
With you right here with me I'll have the strength to go on, oh...

Thank for my child
I'm really thankin' 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'll hold you close to me
I'll rock-a-bye my baby
I'll rock you to sleep

Whoa, whoa
I understand your language, your baby talk
You've got to crawl before you walk
There you are just lookin' so beautiful
And all the while you're wrapped in blankets, you are my love child

Thank for my child
Here we are today, the years go on by
Thanks for my child
You grew before my eyes time after time
Thanks for my child
And though you're 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, oh
Oh...oh...oh...oh...
I just know I'll never let you go
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey
'Cause you're my sweet baby
Papa can't preach
Papa was a rollin' stone (Because he left this beautiful)
Because he left this beautiful ('Cause he left us all alone)
But that's okay 'cause I'm your mother, baby
I carried you for nine months
And I'm gonna carry you until you can carry yourself
On your own
I love you, sweetheart {I love you too, mommy}
