I want a son. I want a son Someone I can blame for turning grey To share my name, to share my days To share the things I've earned The lessons that I've learned along the way He'd have a friend and we'd have fun I love to laugh and I would love to have a son. I want a girl Twirling round the room in pink and blue To count on me, to see her through Who'd worry when I'm late And tell me that I'm great when it's not true She'd have a friend and we'd have fun I'd love a daughter just as I would love a son. I wanna care I wanna wonder where they are I wanna see that they go farther than me And carry on, the things I love, when I'm gone. Forgetting me I'd be good for them, I really would They'd have someone who understood Who'd always be around And never let them down, I never could. He'd have a friend and we'd have fun She'd have a friend, we'd all be one I'd love to have a girl Or I would love to have a son.
