Dolly Parton - What Will Baby Be Lyrics






A young couple marries, already fighting
Along comes baby makin' them three
Trouble's all he hears from the time he's in didies
Baby don't know just what to believe

Angry words and spiteful actions
Baby's gonna cut his teeth on these
If that's gonna be the main attraction
What will the baby be, what will baby be

Baby needs love and needs direction
Baby's first school is the family
For they are only a reflection
Of the things they see, what will baby be

What will baby be after baby is grown
What will baby do if baby don't know what's right or wrong
Got to show them love, got to teach them truth
'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
Well, that depends entirely on me and you
Depends entirely on me and you

Baby thinks God is just a curse word
Never said a prayer 'cause he's never been taught
They remember and repeat what they've heard
So I ask who's really at fault

So many questions, so few answers
So many lessons we don't teach
Stumbling through like clumsy dancers
What will baby be, what will baby be

What will baby be after baby is grown
What will baby do when baby is out there on his own
Teach the children how to be all they should be
'Cause what baby is when baby grows up
Depends entirely on you and me
Depends entirely on you and me
What will baby be

    yes it would seem a lot of good songs are not on youtube yet or not uploaded anywhere else. I have seemed to be turned into the guy you send requests on -_- which is fine, however one song is slipping through my fingers everytime I get close, meet me on the corner by prairie oyster, ...anyway that was off topic. I am glad you like it, and your welcome for uploading.

I love this song so much, me and her sing this, and grandma sings along too. I love it!!! Once again, thanks for uploading! You rock!
