lyrics

You’re my friend and I love you
But you need to heal from the terrible cards you were dealt
You have, always been amazing,
But you choose the type of men who burn you down to the ground
When will you realise what a catch you are
If that’s what you settle for, that’s what you’ll be getting now
When will you see all that you are within?
If that’s what you put up with, that’s what you’ll be stuck with.


(Chorus)
Baby, you want a baby
But we hope that, instead, you’ll leave him.
Cause I said, he has, no he’s never been ready
He’s a baby, just like the one you want

Woman, you’ve got it all
But he has nothing for, the kind of life you could build
You have fallen for his potential
Well we’ve all been there my friend, but you deserve so much more

When will you decide on no more second chances
Instead taking the risk to find a real man who romances
When will you stop investing so much into him
Kicking him to the curb your real love can begin.

(Chorus)
Now baby, you want a baby
But we hope that, instead, you’ll leave him
Cause I said, he has, no he’s never been ready
He’s a baby, just like the one you want


We hate to see you in such pain
Wringing your hands over a man who disrespects you this way
We know, you’re a woman so many would want
Who would never put you through, the kind of crap he slings everyday


When will you recognise he’s snuffing out your light
You deserve so much more than just a bloody parasite
When will you reconcile that he just ain’t enough
We’ve given up on hoping that he just might grow up.

(Chorus)
Now baby, you want a baby
But we hope that, instead, you’ll leave him
Cause I said, he has, no he’s never been ready
He’s a baby, just like the one you want

Well, he’s a baby, just like the one you want
Yeah, he’s a baby, just like the one you want
