Emmy the Great
"We Almost Had A Baby"

Well you didn't stop
When I told you to stop
And there was a month
When I wasn't sure
If the next time I saw you
Out on the road
I'd have something to say
Other than "Pay
All of the money that you owe"

And I would have liked to
To have something above you
To have something to hold
And know I could choose to let it grow
And I would have called you
And I'd've said "Hey
You know I'm in control
I'll let you know
If you have to come and choose a name"

Well I am a woman
Well you know I'm a woman
But before I met you
I was only a kid
Though there were moments
When you thought you would break me
But you wanted to take me
So you did

And I will think of you now that we are apart
I put my hand across my gut
I plan to beat it with a heart
I'm not the girl that you remember from the start
I was only a baby
Now I am what you made me

And I will think of you now that we are apart
I put my hand across my gut
I plan to beat it with a heart
I'm not the girl that you remember from the start
I was only a baby
Now I am what you made me

And once you left me in the spring
And twice you left in fall
And once I tried to make a life
To keep myself in yours
Do you think of me when you are playing
The one and five in four?
Is country music what your life is for?

We almost had a baby
