Little boy, don't you cry
It's gonna be alright
Don't give up hoping for
A father to provide

Your mother's fine, she'll be okay
Someday she'll smile again
Just hold her close and make hear laugh
Her tears will fade away

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Makes promises then spits you out
Leaves you feeling like a fool

You make me feel like a fool

Sometimes love can be so cruel
Makes promises then spits you out
Leaves you feeling like a fool

Despite life's disappointments
I never lost my faith
I was taught to believe in love's embrace
One thing that makes me different
I'll never walk away
From the ones that I love, they can depend on me

Little boy, your time's arrived
To put the wrongs to right
Gonna be a father, gonna do much better
Just hold your babies tight
Hold your babies tight
