If I had known I would have sang the right song
I would have kept myself, and held my desires at bay
I would have stuck to what is right and cared less about being treated like a lonesome ray
I would have…… I would have…… I would have….
Now the kicking in my womb is a constant reminder
Now everybody acts like am an alien, Sade, Kemi and even Olivier
I thought Charles loved me but he says he’s too young to be a father
Now my dreams to be accomplished seem farther and farther
And my father says am no daughter of his though not mother
Yet I wish I could go back to that day last December
When Charles said he loved me and nothing could put us asunder
Then he came close wearing nothing, nothing!! Not even a rubber
And though I wanted to protest but I was in love and my heart kept beating faster
Now the doctor says the baby is due in September
Mother says when you carry a baby you are holding a life
Not just diapers and the cute smile at that tender age
But responsibilities from infancy even up to college
It’s not like a book where if I don’t like it I could just turn the page
And I have to stay away from school and friends and…. Oh!! I feel like am in a cage
Mother says to support the baby I might have to work for minimum wage
Oh!! If I had known I would have said NO!!
Picked myself up and been on my way home
Perhaps YOU THERE have this same choice to make
Even if you can’t find any reason to, at least for peace of mind sake
PLEASE SAY NO!! And let no one your future break.
