Thanks For My Child  
Cheryl "Pepsi" Riley 

You came into my life, You just made everything right. 
And even though my man has left me behind, 
I don't regret a thing for having you. 

Thanks for my child, 
I'm really thanking you, the man above 
Thanks for my child 
You brought me so much joy 
This bundle of love 
Thanks for my child 
and though your father, He ran away free. 
The love I have for you baby, Is the love I have in me 

I'll stay and watch you grow, Yes I will! 
I'll raise you by myself, A one woman show. 
You make life worth singing a song 
(echo)You make life worth singing a song' 
With you right here with me, 
I 'll have the strength to go on. 

Thanks for my child 
Here we are to today, the years have gone by 
Thanks for my child 
you grew before my eyes, time after time 
Thanks for my child 
I'll hold you in my arms, I hold you close to me 
rock a bye my baby, I'll rock you to sleep 

I understand your language, Your baby talk 
You forgot to crawl, Before you walked 
There you are just looking so beautiful 
And all the while, you are wrapped in blankets 
You are my love child. 

Thanks for my child 
I really thanking you, The man above 
Thanks for my child 
You brought me so much joy, This bundle of love 
Thanks for my child 
And though your daddy, He ran away free 
The love I have for you baby 
Is the love I have in me, Inside of me 
The love I have in me 
I just know, I'll never let you go, no, no 
No, no, no, oh yeh 
Cause you're my sweet baby 
Papa can't preach, Papa was a rolling stone because 
He left his beautiful, Cause he left, us alone 
But that's OK cause I'm you mother baby 
I carried you for 9 months, And I'm gonna carry you 
Until you can carry yourself On your own 
I love you sweetheart, (child) I love you too mommy!
