Baby Misha, I'd call her
As we'd stroll down the nearest river
River banks, and I love you so much
Not just because my body
Forces me to,
Oh dear, unborn child I still want to possess you
The ultimate work of art
A project and production
I'd nurture, nurture, nurture her
Refrain:
But mama,
But what?
But mama,
But what?
But mama, but mama, but mama, but what
Little Avorys, and Ivorys,
and Josephs, and Jacks and Rileys
All wily, all Velcro, all mine
I'm the captain, I'm a shark
I am holding your hand in the dark
I'll teach you to dance when you're older
Little Floras, and Jonahs, and Lenas
and Liams and Monas
I'll miss you, but I want you to be free
Refrain
You're all better off
You'll understand when you're a mother
and that's me thinking that she wants to be a mother
She'll feel the same feel
'Cause we have the same blood
But she's positive, and I'm negative
Refrain
The influence is rather mighty
Her bruised blue eyes are flighty
She wants to spin around on the lawn
It hurts to say this:
"child with a child pretending"
but I worry that's all I'll ever amount
It hurts to say this
But mama, but mama, but what
