Choices

My Hormones are going crazy and this is my first time
I look at her eyes - I'm lost in them, can't believe their mine
My heart is racing I got no protection, but with that look I can't stop
The next day she tells me the news, and my heart just drooped
I'm a kid how am I going to raise one, my dreams my life - all gone
Just in that small time, everything in my life's - so wrong
So much for leaving school to cook on that ship, and traveling the world
Good thing I found the perfect one to share my life with, I love that girl

With a burden this big, I thank the lord I found that special one
with her by my side even a mistake this big makes it feel like I've won

5 years have gone by and the only thing I have left is child support
I fought and lost my little boy, my pride, and my heart in court
Sometimes I can't sleep and I cry for everything I've lost
If I could just have my little boy... I wouldn't count the cost
But I just sit in my apartment alone, trying to scrape by
She took my house my money, why was I so careless why
Just one mistake is all it takes to kiss your life goodbye
You bet I'd change things if I could start anew
This happens to so many don't let it happen to you

With a burden this big, I thank the lord I found that special one
that person was myself, If only I knew that before I had a son
