Mary J. Blige — Your Child

[Intro] It's too bad, it's too bad It's too bad, it's too bad, baby But I gotta face reality It's too bad, it's too bad Too bad, baby But I gotta face reality [Verse 1] Today you had a visitor, or should I say an old friend But wait a minute, that's not where it ends, no Is there something that you wanna tell me? Mmm, 'cause I'm believing what your friends say About your hidden secrecies [Pre-Chorus] And girlfriend, she wasn't disrespectful (In fact) She's a hundred percent sure And how could I argue with her Holding a baby with eyes like yours? [Chorus] She said it's your child, and it really messed me up How could you deny your own flesh and blood? Gotta face reality, there can be never be anymore us Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious [Verse 2] She said she never wanted to hurt me And could I understand, she's afraid and lost She said a real woman wouldn't do this over the phone And that you told her about me after the baby was born [Pre-Chorus] And girlfriend, she wasn't disrespectful (In fact) She's a hundred percent sure And how could I argue with her Holding a baby with eyes like yours? [Chorus] She said it's your child, and it really messed me up (Really messed me up) How could you deny your own flesh and blood? Gotta face reality, there can be never be anymore us Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious (She said) She said it's your child, and it really messed me up How could you deny your own flesh and blood? Gotta face reality, there can be never be anymore us (There can never be anymore us) Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious (so precious) [Bridge] Oh, the baby looks just like you How could you deny your own flesh and blood? Your own child What kind of man are you? [Pre-Chorus] And girlfriend, she wasn't disrespectful (In fact) She's a hundred percent sure Oh, and how could I argue with her Holding a baby with eyes like yours? [Chorus] She said it's your child, and it really messed me up How could you deny your own flesh and blood? Gotta face reality, there can be never be anymore us Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious She said it's your child, and it really messed me up How could you deny your own flesh and blood? Gotta face reality, there can be never be anymore us (There can never be you and me) Won't deny it's hurting me, yet so precious
