I want a son lyrics

I want a son

Someone I can blame for turning grey

To share my name, to share my days

To share the things I've earned

The lessons that I've learned along the way

He'd have a friend and we'd have fun

I love to laugh and I would love to have a son

I want a girl

Twirling round the room in pink and blue

To count on me, to see her through

Who'd worry when I'm late

And tell me that I'm great when it's not true

She'd have a friend and we'd have fun

I'd love a daughter just as I would love a son

I wanna care

I wanna wonder where they are

I wanna see that they go farther than me

And carry on, the things I love, when I'm gone

Forgetting me

I'd be good for them, I really would

They'd have someone who understood

Who'd always be around

And never let them down, I never could

He'd have a friend and we'd have fun

She'd have a friend, we'd all be one

I'd love to have a girl

Or I would love to have a son
