Baby Boy - Childish Gambino

Little hands, little feet

Tiny heart, tiny beat

Oh, thinkin' 'bout the time we spent falling in love together

I don’t wanna leave you, I don’t wanna deceive you

But oh, when mama cries from daddy’s lies

Oh my, please don’t take him away, mama

Don’t take him away, oh

'Cause I’ve had my time, oh!

Don’t take my baby boy

Don’t take my pride and joy

I hope I stay close, I hope I stay close

All the pain, all the tears

Many nights, many years

This love for me is fading

You waited, but I never came home to you

I’ve never lied about us

We were never supposed to be together

When you see me with some other one

And they know your son

Oh, please don’t take him away

You say you won’t but you will, yes you will

'Cause I’ve had my time, oh!

Don’t take my baby boy

Don’t take my pride and joy

I hope I stay close, I hope I stay close

(Don't take my baby boy)

There was a time before you

And there will be a time after you

(Don't take my pride and joy)

Though these bodies are not our own

Walk tall, little one, walk tall

(I hope I stay close)

(Don't take my baby boy)

(Don't take my pride and joy)

Let me hold you, let me hold you

(I hope I stay close)

Can I hold you?
