Alas, I was too young to be a father.

lyrics

Baby Sheds Tears
CJ Leon

My baby sheds tears
that fall like stars.
She's scared to be alone at night.

I'm by her side
and I'm denied.
She's got a kid who shares the bed.

Our life is hard.
Like rocks on Mars
we're only dry till we can drink again.

Alone till dawn
in the kitchen dark
I watch the moon drip off the edge of a spoon.

The morning they're screaming.
I'd rather be dreaming.
Their screaming messes up my head.

I'm just too bad,
too wild and bad
to love her as she needs me do.

I've got my girls
around the world.
My baby stones me when their calls get through.

Don't get me wrong now,
we get along somehow.
Yes, they love me at the top of their lungs.

That being said,
I'm just no dad.
I guess I'll be a moving on.

Say, yes, I'll be a-movin' on.
That's right.
