Harry Chapin - Woman Child Lyrics
Dripping streetlightsdarkened buildingswanderinghead hung down low.Where will she go?Woman child, your eyes are wild.The rain runs down your hair.Woman child, mercy mild.What will you tell your teddy bear?I turned you on my solid bodymy electric Gibson guitar.My clever fingers searchedand found exactly where you are.You went too far.I was an early morning phone call.What news have I received.A halting voice is telling me,what we have both conceived,asking how the dilemma,how can it be releived?"I will give you money, Honey.I will set up a time.But you got to go there on your own babe,'cause I don't know that it's mine."Oh woman childmama's little angel's been defiled.Took a taxi to the clinicwhere they do the modern thing.The white coat doctorlaid her out said"You won't feel a thing.You get the sweet salvationthat little old knife can bring.You don't have to worry 'bout no offspring.That's that.Go Home and take a nap.It's just a two hundred dollar mishap.It don't mean a thing.It's all over nowyou can tell your singer to sing."
