Lyrics

Lapchild

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So we see it start again,

Another adolescent standing with her friends

Just one more guy too shy to tell her how he feels

So when he does, to us it's no big deal

They start to date and hug and kiss and hold hands

Also soon forgetting one of God's great commands

It says "You shall have no other Gods before me"

Did they care? No, 'cause they couldn't see

It started with a kiss, not just a little peck

Next thing he knew, he was slurpin on her neck

It's obvious to see, that he has no recompense

They're just another couple, that never make any sense

Just as a though becomes a deed

Soon there's a mouth you have to feed.

How the child count becomes three.

He and she are just a like

Barely got training wheels off of their bikes;

How did they expect to live carefree?

Always whining "There's no time to play"

Sorry, but that's the price you pay,

I have it was worth five minutes o' love.

Shucks, funds are getting tight

Money situation doesn't look too bright.

We'll see what happens when push comes to shove

It started with a kiss, not just a little peck,

Next thing he knew, he was slupin on her neck,

And now they have a kid, and another on the way

What a shame to see their sky is gray

It started with a kiss, not just a little peck,

Next thing he knew, he was slurpin on her neck,

It's obvious to see, he stumbled, then he fell,

Their foolish child games, put them in a living hell.
