We Almost Had A Baby

Emmy the Great

Well you didn't stop
When I told you to stop
And there was a month
That I wasn't sure

The next time I saw you
Out on the river
I'd have something to say
Other than "pay me all of the money you owe"

I would have liked to
To have something above you
To have something to hold
And know I could choose to grow

I would've called you
And I'd have 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
But before I met you
I was only a kid
You know
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've put my hand across my gut
I plan to beat it with a heart

I'm not the girl you remember from the start
I was only a baby
Now I'm what you made me

For once, you hit the spot
Twice, you let it fall
And once I tried to make a light
To keep myself in yours

Do you think of me
When you are playing?
