And even though my man has left me behind,
 I don't regret a thing for having you.

 Thanks for my child,
 I'm really thanking you, the man above
 Thanks for my child
 You brought me so much joy
 This bundle of love
 Thanks for my child
 and though your father, He ran away free.
 The love I have for you baby, Is the love I have in me

 I'll stay and watch you grow, Yes I will!
 I'll raise you by myself, A one woman show.
 You make life worth singing a song
 (echo)You make life worth singing a song'
 With you right here with me,
 I 'll have the strength to go on.

 Thanks for my child
 Here we are to today, the years have gone by
 Thanks for my child
 you grew before my eyes, time after time
 Thanks for my child
 I'll hold you in my arms, I hold you close to me
 rock a bye my baby, I'll rock you to sleep

 I understand your language, Your baby talk
 You forgot to crawl, Before you walked
 There you are just looking so beautiful
 And all the while, you are wrapped in blankets
 You are my love child.

 Thanks for my child
 I really thanking you, The man above
 Thanks for my child
 You brought me so much joy, This bundle of love
 Thanks for my child
 And though your daddy, He ran away free
 The love I have for you baby
 Is the love I have in me, Inside of me
 The love I have in me
 I just know, I'll never let you go, no, no
 No, no, no, oh yeh
 Cause you're my sweet baby
 Papa can't preach, Papa was a rolling stone because
 He left his beautiful, Cause he left, us alone
 But that's OK cause I'm you mother baby
 I carried you for 9 months, And I'm gonna carry you
 Until you can carry yourself On your own
 I love you sweetheart, (child) I love you too mommy
