I Used to Want a Baby

I used to want a baby
So much I used to cry,
But now I've finally got one
I sit and wonder why...

Why am I not an adult?
Why don't I have a man?
Why couldn't I have waited?
Why don't I have a plan?

My Parents have deserted;
They've left me on my own;
To live life as a Mother
Until my baby's grown.

Why am I not an adult?
Why don't I have a man?
Why couldn't I have waited?
Why don't I have a plan?

My friends don't want to know me
And neither does the Dad;
He's never met his baby -
My precious little lad.

Why am I not an adult?
Why don't I have a man?
Why couldn't I have waited?
Why don't I have a plan?

Employers do not want me,
Colleges shut their doors.
With very little money,
I sleep most nights on floors.

Why am I not an adult?
Why don't I have a man?
Why couldn't I have waited?
Why don't I have a plan?

And now I know the reason
They teach sex ed. at School:
Warning all the girls like me -
Young parenthood's not cool.

Why am I not an adult?
Why don't I have a man?
Why couldn't I have waited?
Why don't I have a plan?

Although I love my baby -
I-ll love him 'til I die -
I look at what my life is
And cannot help but cry.

Why am I not an adult?
Why don't I have a man?
Why couldn't I have waited?
Why don't I have a plan?

So if you want a baby,
PLEASE think about it first,
Or you could learn the hard way -
The day your bubble bursts.

For I am not an adult,
And I don't have a man;
I really should have waited
Until I had a plan.
