YOUNG CHILD
(HOOK)
YOUNG CHILD
THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU
THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU
THE WAY THEY
THE WAY THEY TEACH YOU
THE WAY THEY TEACH YOU
THE WAY THEY
IF MEMORIES WERE ONCE
THEN SHE WAS TWICE
ON THE THIRD SHE HAD A SON
THE FOUTH WAS FOR LOVELY LADIES
THE LOVELY LADIES
OH LOVELY LADIES
AND THEIR YOUNG CHILD
[VERSE 1 JOJO LAFRANCE JR]
SHE'S THINKING ABOUT HOW HER CHILD WILL LOVE HER
SHE'S THINKING ABOUT HOW THE WORLD DESTROYED HER
THE TIME SHE SURPRISED HER MOM WITH THE NEWS OF BEING A MOM
SHE'S NOT THE ONE TO TAKE ON MORE THAN SHE NEED
WOULDN'T ASK FOR A FAVOR BUT QUICK TO GIVE
AND IF SHE REMEMBERS
THE ONE INNOCENT DAY OF GUILT WAS HER CHILD'S BIRTH
FRIENDS FELT SORRY FOR HER
SHE HAD THOUGHTS OF ABORTING HIM
UNTIL HIS EYES LOOKED INTO HER EYES
THE PAIN TO HAVE FRIENDS THAT WASN'T FRIENDS
TELLING LIES ABOUT THE TRUTH
SHE THOUGHT OF BEING A MODEL
KEEPING A FIGURE ALWAYS
LIKE A COKE BOTTLE
TRAVELING WAS ADVENTUROUS
SPENDING TIME WITH MAGNIFICENT
HANGING IN THE CLUBS PREVENTED THEM
FROM SENDING THEM
WELL WISHES TO THE FOLKS AND HER PEOPLE
THAT LOOKED AT HER AS IF SHE MADE THEM SO PROUD
THAT LIT A FIRE IN HER
(HOOK)
YOUNG CHILD
THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU
THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU
THE WAY THEY
THE WAY THEY TEACH YOU
THE WAY THEY TEACH YOU
THE WAY THEY
IF MEMORIES WERE ONCE
SHE WAS TWICE
ON THE THIRD SHE HAD A SON
THE FOUTH WAS FOR LOVELY LADIES
THE LOVELY LADIES
OH LOVELY LADIES
AND THEIR YOUNG CHILD
[VERSE 2 JOJO LAFRANCE JR]
DESIRE OF WANTING TO HAVE LIFE
NOT THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER LIFE
HE DIDN'T WANT HER AS HIS WIFE
BUT SHE LOVED HIM
SHE TRUSTED HIM
MADE UP AND REFUSE TO GIVE HIM UP
BUT THEN IT WASN'T HER TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING
AND WASN'T HER TO RECIEVE WHAT SHE DESERVES
NOW THE LITTLE CHILD IS BORN
SHE'S WHO WAS SCORN
FROM THE SCARS AND BEING OUT OF SHAPE
HER LOVELINESS WENT AWAY
AND EACH DAY SHE MADE LIKE SHE DIDN'T PRAY
BUT CRIED EVERYDAY
WONDERING HOW OTHERS JUDGED HER
YEP NOW IT'S JUST HER
SHE GAVE UP HER CHILD
ABORTED HIM AVOIDED HIM
HE WOULDN'T STOP CRYING
AND WOULDN'T HAVE SMILE SHE WOULD NOTICE
THIS LOVELY LADY WHO HAD EVERY DRESS
AND PERFECT ATTENDENCE
STILL WONDERS HOW
HER LOOK AND HER PRESENCE EVER ATTRACTED
ANY OTHERS
NOW THE SUICIDE THAT SHE COMITTED
WASN'T FORGIVING
CHILD AT DA GRAVEYARD
WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF HIS MOM
SO ON AND ON
THE LOVELY SHE ONCE WAS
IS NOW A DISTANT MEMORY
SHE WOULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE THAN HERSELF
LISTEN TO MAGNIFICENT MUSIC
FOR THE LOVELY LADIES
WITH PROBLEMS OF OTHER LADIES
HIDE AND RUN TO OTHERS BEGGING FOR RESPECT
OTHERS LACK OF THAT
SO SHE STAYED AWAY FROM EM
(HOOK)
YOUNG CHILD
THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU

THE WAY THEY TEACH YOU
THE WAY THEY
IF MEMORIES WERE ONCE
SHE WAS TWICE
ON THE THIRD SHE HAD A SON
THE FOUTH WAS FOR LOVELY LADIES
THE LOVELY LADIES
OH LOVELY LADIES
AND THEIR YOUNG CHILD
[VERSE 3 JOJO LAFRANCE JR]
THIS TIME NOT TODAY SHE GONE
IT AIN'T FOR ME OR YOU
BUT HER FAMILY CRIED
MAGNIFICENT
NOW IF THE YOUNG CHILD WASN'T BORN
HER FAMILY WASN'T TORN
PIECES THEY HAVE TO PICK UP 52
AND IT'S YOU
THEY KNEW OF ONLY YOU
YOUR GONE SO R.I.P LOVELY YOU
AND YOUR CHILD WILL GROW
HISTORY WILL SHOW YOUR SON
WHAT HE MAY LIKE ABOUT HIS MOM
IN OTHER LOVELY LADIES
MAGNIFICENT
