lyrics

"I don't believe in ifs this is how it is."
Said the man who gave his baby away.

His girlfriend said
It was too early in their lives for a child.
He had no say.
So he cried as his life was not worth anything.
He loved the child and wanted him,
But the girl was determined to show.
She was unconventional.
She was always prepared to be selfish and strange.
And now the child has go.

"I don't believe in ifs. This is how it is."
Said the man who gave his baby away.

His girlfriend said
It was too early in their lives for a child.
He wouldn't say.
And he cried when they asked him
Why he changed his mind.
He was not prepared to stand up to her.
So what was this man gonna do?
She had never thought about
All the trouble and pain
She was putting him through.
She just smiled at the T.V. crew.

Little baby, don't you cry.
Sing yourself a lullaby.
If a baby gets to choose
Thank your the lucky stars
She won't get you.
And he cried.
'cos his life had not been beautiful.
He loved the child and he wanted to give
All of the love that was due.

She was still in wonderland.
She was staring
And no one could tropple her now.
And still the man looked on.

"I don't believe in ifs. This is how it is."
Said the man who gave his baby away.

His girlfriend said
It was too early in their lives for a child.
He had no say.
And he cried
And his life was not worth anything.
'Cos he loved the child and he wanted him.
Oh what is this man gonna do ?
