Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, I had a baby
Now she's one day old
And looks just like her old lady
And last night I had a bad dream
That the world would end
And would be forever ending
[Verse 2]
I know it's not that nice but, hey
It's just a dream, it's just a dream
[Verse 3]
And if I had just one more day
Here's all the things that I would say
To my baby
[Verse 4]
I can't explain the world to you
I can't explain the things that people choose to do
There's a thing called hate and there's a thing called love, too
Like the love I have for your mom and for you
And my baby, she looked at me and then she smiled
[Verse 5]
Never had nobody else
No bestest friend until the end to talk about
But then I met this little girl
And I could see that she would be my whole wide world
[Verse 6]
And I know it don't feel right
But hey, nothing's ever as it seems
[Verse 7]
And if I had just one more day
Here's all the things that I would say
Before you came to take away
My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 8]
I can't explain the world to you
I can't explain the things that people choose to do
There's a thing called hate and there's a thing called love too
Like the love I have for your mom and for you
[Verse 9]
No, I can't explain the world to you
And I can't explain the things that people do
There's a thing called hate and there's a thing called love, love, too
Like the love I have for your mom and for you
Well my baby, she looked at me and she just smiled
