Your Child

Mary J. Blige

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, yeah
But I gotta face reality

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 want to tell me, hmm
Cause I’m believing what your friends say
About your hidden secrecy

1 -	The 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

2 -	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 hurting me
	Yes so precious

She said she never, wanted to hurt me
And could I understand, she’s afraid and alone
She said a real woman wouldn’t do this over the phone
And that you told her about me after the baby was born

Repeat 1

Repeat 2 (2x)

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, oh the girlfriend
