What About The Baby (Featuring Mary J. Blige) Lyrics
[Wyclef]
Let me talk to my daughter
Daughter this is your papa
I know it's been a while
We haven't talked
[Daughter (Unknown Artist)]
But daddy you've been gone
And me and mom have been all alone
It's been a struggle and you weren't there for us
[Wyclef]
Okay, when I called you
She wouldn't put you on the phone
She called the police, restraining order
50 feet from my home
I tried, I ain't lying
It's so sad that the heavens crying
Once a boy and twice a man
I'm just trying to do the best I can
Give me a chance girl
[Chorus - Wyclef]
Oh, a grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice?
Oh, everything's going to be alright
Baby girl I'm by your side, dry your eyes
[Blige]
Let's talk this over
Now see I heard everything that you told her
But it's going to take more than words
for you to be a father
Responsibilities of a man
Like staying faithful just for the fam
What if she knew that you chose
another over her mother?
So you called her
And I wouldn't put her on the phone
I called the police yes, restraining order
50 feet, from my home
I tried, I ain't lying
It's so sad that the heavens are crying
Once a girl, twice of a man
And I'm going to try to do the best I can to give you a chance
[Chorus - Blige]
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why don't you just wipe your eyes? Dry your eyes
You've learned a house is not a home
Now that you're living all alone, now you want back home
[Wyclef]
Wait a minute, girl
You're my joy, happiness that you bring
Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling
You're a hip-hop song I heard for the first time
Studied all the words to the rhyme
You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon
There's no stars shining in the night
[Blige]
But if I gave you a chance, would you show me you care?
Be a man, no matter what the circumstance?
[Chorus - Wyclef]
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice?
[Blige]
You've learned a house is not a home
When you're living all alone, and you want back home
[Chorus - Wyclef & Blige]
A grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice?
What about the baby, what about the baby?
Everything's going to be alright
Baby girl, I'm by your side, I apologize
Let me talk to my daughter
Daughter this is your papa
I know it's been a while
We haven't talked
But daddy you've been gone
And me and mom have been all alone
It's been a struggle and you weren't there for us
Okay, when I called you
She wouldn't put you on the phone
She called the police, restraining order
50 feet from my home
I tried, I ain't lying
It's so sad that the heavens crying
Once a boy and twice a man
I'm just trying to do the best I can
Give me a chance girl
Oh, a grown man ain't supposed to cry
So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice?
Oh, everything's going to be alright
Baby girl I'm by your side, dry your eyes
Let's talk this over
Now see I heard everything that you told her

Everything's going to be alright
Baby girl, I'm by your side, I apologize
