Now She Pays the Price

God gave you a child.......

because he had something

more important for you to do

you didn't take that job seriously......

and now she'll pay the price

God gave you a child.......

to love and to cherish

not to hate and pervert

you got it mixed up......

and now she'll pay the price

God gave you a child.....

to be proud of through the years

but you treated her with such unmeaning

your hatred was relentless.........

and now she'll pay the price

God gave you a child....

......and now she pays the price
