We Almost Had A Baby

Emmy the Great - We Almost Had A Baby

well you didn't stop, when i told you to stop

and there was a month when i wasn't sure

if the next time i saw you out on the road

i'd have something to say, other than pay

all of the money that you owe.

and i would have liked to

to have something above you

to have something to hold

and know i could choose to let it grow

and i would have called you

and i'd have said hey

you know i'm in control and i'll let you know

if you have to come and choose a name

and i will think of you now that we are apart

i put my hand across my gut i plan to feed it with a heart

i'm not the girl that you remember from the start

i was only a baby, now i am what you made me

and i will think of you now that we are apart

i put my hand across my gut i plan to feed it with a heart

i'm not the girl that you remember from the start

i was only a baby, now i am what you made me

and once you left me in the spring

and twice you left in fall

and once i tried to make a life

to keep myself in yours

do you think of me when you are playing

the one and five in four

is country music

what your life is for?

we almost had a baby.
