He should know that I don't want her, When I see her I hardly speak I always wish them the best of luck And I only call there once a week When I drop by the house, I'm quiet as a mouse But he always starts something Every time I got my rights I know she's his wife But the baby is mine Whenever I go By that place He's got that "he wants my wife" look On his face When all I want Is what's fair I don't mean any harm By going there And as for his woman She's his all alone I'm not trying To break up his home I've got my rights And I know she's his wife But the baby is mine The baby's mine He's misconstrued What a black man could see I don't want her And she don't want me I'm not just a father I'm also a man I'm going to see my child Every chance that I get can And as for the woman She says all alone I'm not trying to break up that man's home You can bet your life, She might be his wife, But the baby is mine The baby's mine All mine All mine, mine, mine The baby's mine The baby's mine
