Baby Girl
I've got a little friend Her age is 4 plus ten She calls me on the phone crying every now and then She says, “My mamma just won't listen My daddy still is missin' I don't feel I am nothing of value or worth” I say, “Baby girl get a hold of yourself Baby girl don't you know your wealth You're a diamond hiding on a shelf Baby girl, Baby girl Baby girl don't you know who you are God has made you a shining star A little light is brighter than the dark Baby girl, Baby girl” I call my sister friend I'm crying and whining again She lets me vent my heart Before the healing starts (And I say) my children just won't listen My paycheck still is missin' And every little thing is working my nerve (She says) From Letras Mania
