Your Child
Mary J. Blige

Intro:
It's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad, it's too bad, baby
But I gotta face reality
(repeat)

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
'Cause I'm believing what your friends say
'Bout your hidden secrecies
An' 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 never be anymore us
Won't deny it's hurtin' me
Yes, 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
An' 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

Verse 3:
Hmm
Oh, I can't
Looks just like you
How could you deny your own flesh and blood?
Your own child
What kind of man are you?
Oh
An' 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 (twice)
