Whose child is this, this child of mine?
Who thinks this world will give you anything
If you aint fighting
I was too soft. I was too kind.
If there's anyone who's mislead you
The blame's all mine
I tried I tried I tried
To love you and keep you
And shelter you from harm
If I if I were right I failed you must know
It weren't for lack of trying
But you had food to eat
And you had clothes to wear
And I had a job
There's a roof over our head
And God was watching
And God was watching
And God was watching over us
And if it's true that God takes care
Of babies and fools
I'll live my life rested assured that God will take care of you
Whose child is this, this child of mine?
Who thinks this world will give you anything if you aint fighting
I was too soft. I was too kind.
If there's anyone who's mislead you
The blame's all mine
The blame's all mine
The blame's all mine
