Wyclef Jean - What About The Baby lyrics

I want to apologize for makin' you wait so long for the sequel Wyclef, Mary J., this one called, "What About the Baby" You ever been like 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 He say Okay, when I called you She wouldn't put you on the phone She call the police, restrainin' order Fifty feet from my home I tried, I ain't lyin' It's so sad that the heavens cryin, ayy Once a boy and twice a man I'm just tryin to do the best I can Give me a chance girl A grown man ain't supposed to cry So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice Everything gon' 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 But it's gon' take more than words For you to be a father, uh-huh Responsibilities of a man Like stayin' faithful just for the fam' What if she knew that you chose Another over her mother, oh So you called her And I wouldn't put her on the phone I called the police yes, restrainin' order Fifty feet, from my home I tried, I ain't lyin' It's so sad that the heavens are cryin', yeah Once a girl, twice of a man And I'nma try to do the best I can I can't give you a chance, no A woman 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 When you're living all alone and you want back home Wait a minute, girl You're my joy, happiness that you bring Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling You a hip-hop song I heard for the first time 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, shinin' in the night But if I give you a chance, would you show me you care Be a man, no matter what the circumstances, ah A grown man ain't supposed to cry So why does water fill my eyes when I hear your voice You've learned a house is not a home When you're living all alone, and you want back home (Dry your eyes, dry your eyes) 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 gon' be alright Baby girl I'm by your side, I apologize I cry, and I cry, I cry (What about the baby?)
