Baby Game

She was so sweet once, she was innocent Now she's a cribcase, it's all very disgusting She fell in love but she fell out again She cries for her milk when she should be eating She's helpless, she plays the baby game She plays the baby game, she plays the baby game She's going nowhere, she's staying the same Little birds are helpless, way up in the tree They cry for mother almost constantly But little birds must one day take their wing I told her this, she threw her rattle at me She's helpless, she plays the baby game She plays the baby game, she plays the baby game She's going nowhere, she's staying the same She keeps on crying, it should be for shame Talks her gibberish, can't say her name No direction purpose or aim When she ought to be walking, she's acting so lame She plays the baby game, she plays the baby game She plays the baby game I'll do my best, I'll let her lean on me With some encouragement, maybe I'll reach her I can still love her, treat her tenderly I'll take it slowly, there's so much to teach her She plays the baby game, she plays the baby game She plays the baby game
