    C
I think about my little girl
Her yellow skin and her dark curls
     F                           G
And how her father's heart was frozen

I spoke to her and I said:
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"

   C  F
I lied
           G    C
Where is she tonight?

I left him, now we're apart
And I think about his cruel heart
And how his lies have left mine broken

To think that I spoke to him then I said:
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"

I lied
Where's he tonight?

You were precious to me
After all I called you into being
I wanted you to know that
Yes, you were precious to me

She has chosen

And I miss my little boy
I strayed away, so far away
And I need him tonight
To feel his hands around my face
His loving eyes
His happy face
Would be so right

Once I sat in my husband's car
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
My heart wouldn't work
And this he did my special child
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
Oh boy, everything's all right
Don't cry, everything's all right
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
Don't hide, Jake's here alive
