In a river, the color of lead
Emerged the baby's head
Wrap her up in the news of the world
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And i will never sleep again
You kicked and cried
Like a bullied child
A grown man of twenty-five
He said he's cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will
So, so save your life
Because you only got one
The dream is gone but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and i'm not sad
A chivalrous child on a swing
Remind you of your mom again?
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again she left pain
So, so save your life
Because you only got one
The dream is gone but the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
You did a bad thing
You did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
You did a bad thing
You did a bad thing
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
