E5
Babies being born every day
                          D5                      
In a world where there's so much to discover 
        E5
All the babies crying out from the womb 
               D5              
Not much room , can I come out mother? 


C5 D5           C5
Mama, can you hear me call? 
      G5                        D5           A5
Don't drop me now 'cos it's a long way to fall 
C5  D5        C5 
Mama, I can hear all the sounds 
    G5                                       D5             A5
Outside it's like a battleground  and I'm afraid to fall down 
                   D5
Into the great big nowhere 


C5
Papa's had a skin full of beer 

Mama, don't let him into here 
E5 A5   D5 A5   E5 A5 D5 A5
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 


G5
Mama, I know that once upon a time 
        A5
You and Papa were rich when you were both in your prime 
G5
Mama, now you got the pains and I know it's nearly time 
    A5
But I don't want to join the crowd 
      B5 
I see standing in line 
E5 A5   D5 A5   E5 A5   D5 A5   E5 A5   D5 A5
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
