What Will Baby Be

A young couple marries, already fighting

Along comes baby makin' them three

Trouble's all he hears from the time he's in didies

Baby don't know just what to believe

Angry words and spiteful actions

Baby's gonna cut his teeth on these

If that's gonna be the main attraction

What will the baby be, what will baby be

Baby needs love and needs direction

Baby's first school is the family

For they are only a reflection

Of the things they see, what will baby be

What will baby be after baby is grown

What will baby do if baby don't know what's right or wrong

Got to show them love, got to teach them truth

'Cause what baby is when baby grows up

Well, that depends entirely on me and you

Depends entirely on me and you

Baby thinks God is just a curse word

Never said a prayer 'cause he's never been taught

They remember and repeat what they've heard

So I ask who's really at fault

So many questions, so few answers

So many lessons we don't teach

Stumbling through like clumsy dancers

What will baby be, what will baby be

What will baby be after baby is grown

What will baby do when baby is out there on his own

Teach the children how to be all they should be

'Cause what baby is when baby grows up

Depends entirely on you and me

Depends entirely on you and me

What will baby be
