Girl, I know you think that it`s me you`re hurtin`
By denying me the right to take 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
He`s gonna resent you when he`s older
And trust me you don`t want that kind of pain, no, no, no

He`s a part of me that you know you can`t deny
And baby, no matter how hard you try
And when you look at him, you`ll see me in his eyes

It may seem right now, but soon you`ll find out
Just who you`re hurting, babe
Now, let me see my child
Before it`s too late, his heart fills with hate
We`ve got to work it out, now let me see my child

You can`t tell me he don`t ever ask about me
Can you to 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, he needs me in his life

See, I need him every bit as much as you
(Yes I do)
So just try to put yourself in my shoes
`Cause if you were me, what would you do?

It may seem right now, but soon you`ll find out
(But soon, you`re gonna find out)
Just who you`re hurting, babe
(Just who you`re hurting, babe)
Now, let me see my child
(Let me see him, let me see him)
Before it`s too late, his heart fills with 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 that it`s easier to fight, but just look at him
You have to see the things we did right

It may seem right now, but soon you`ll find out
(You`re going to find out)
Just who you`re hurting, babe
(Just who you are hurting, babe)
Now let me see my child
(Let me see my child)
Before it`s too late
(You`re gonna let it be too late)
His heart fills with hate
(His heart fills with rage)
We`ve got to work it out
(We`ve got to)
Now, let me see my child

(Child)
Let me see my child, I`ve got to see my child
You`re hurting him, you`re hurting him
(Child, child)
He needs me in his life
(Child)
I gotta show him how to be a man
(Child)
I gotta see him, I wanna see him,
(Child)
Let me see him
I wanna see my child, yeah
(Tell him B)
(Child)
I`ve got to see him, yeah
