Intro:  E  A  D  A (2X)

E
Babies being born every day
                          D                      
In a world where there's so much to discover 
        E
All the babies crying out from the womb 
               D              
Not much room , can I come out mother? 


C D           C
Mama, can you hear me call? 
      G                        D           A7
Don't drop me now 'cos it's a long way to fall 
C  D        C 
Mama, I can hear all the sounds 
    G                                       D             A7
Outside it's like a battleground  and I'm afraid to fall down 
                   D
Into the great big nowhere 


C
Papa's had a skin full of beer 

Mama, don't let him into here 
E A   D A   E A D A
Baby, baby 

Babies being born different hormones and genes 

There's so many of us out there 

How was I conceived was it love, was I meant 

Or was I just an accident 

Mama, what I sense from outside 

It's a world full of fear and there's nowhere to hide 

Mama, I feel safe between these walls 

And I'm so scared of heights and it's a long way to fall 

Into the great big nowhere 

Maybe Papa's getting pressure from his peers 

Are you straight, are you queer 

So he made me, baby 

Babies being born, some are rich, some are poor 

But they're innocent and unprepared 

Little girls and boys, didn't ask to be born 

But they're always popping out there 

falling into the great big nowhere 


G
Mama, I know that once upon a time 
        A
You and Papa were rich when you were both in your prime 
G
Mama, now you got the pains and I know it's nearly time 
    A
But I don't want to join the crowd 
      B 
I see standing in line 
E A   D A   E A   D A   E A   D A
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby 

Babies being induced, no excuse, what's the use 
So they're always popping out there 
Babies didn't wanna be born ill equipped, running loose 
But they're innocent and unprepared 

Mama, now you are showing all the signs 
But is your world upside-down on its head just like mine 
Mama, now your ambition is mine 
Don't make me over achieve too much in my time 
Oh Mama, please don't make me climb
