Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
You're listening, y'all
Girl, I know you think that it's me you're hurting
By denying me the right to play part in his life
That ain't fair to him and it just ain't right
And I know you think that I don't deserve it
But for our child's sake, don't make this mistake
Don't make him choose between us
Remember the words that I told you
Stories that you went his older
And trust me, you don't want that kind of pain
No, no, no
He's a boy to me that you know you can't deny
Baby, no matter how hard you try
And when you look at him, you'll see me in his eyes
And they seem right now
But soon you'll see
You'll find out
Just who you're hurting me
Now let me see my child
Or it's too late
His heart fills with pain
We've got to work it out
Now let me see my child
You can tell me he don't ever ask about me
Can you tell me he don't ever ask about me
Can you tell him the truth about me and you
Or will you tell lies, cause it's easy to do
You have to know that it's not a game
Cause I'm here to stay
This child bears my name
My blood runs through his veins
Just because you and I weren't happy
Doesn't change the fact that I'm his daddy
So swallow your pride and just say I'm his daddy


Needs me in his life
So I'm giving every bit as much as you
So just try to put yourself in my shoes
Cause if you were me, what would you do?
If they see right now
Soon you'll find out
Just who you're hurting, baby
Let me see them and let me see
Too late, it's not things we hate
We've got to work it out
Now let me see my child
Now I know we both have regrets
For the sake of that boy
Let's forgive and forget
And I know
We've got to work it out

And it's easier to fight
But just look at him
You'll have to see
The thing we did wrong
If they see right now
Soon you'll find out
Just who you're hurting, baby
Let me see my child
Too late, it's not things we hate
We've got to work it out
Soon you'll find out
Let me see my child
Let me see my child
I've got to see my child
Child
He needs me in his life
I gotta show him how to be a man
Gotta see him
I wanna see him
Child
Let me see my child
Let me see my child
Tell me I get to see him
Child
Let me see my child
