My husband used to sing it to me in 1974 when I was pregnant with our first child. Will always be a special song to me. My husband died 2015 after 42 years of marriage but a wonderful memory for me. Miss him so 😪
Odia Coates Givens and I attended the same, small church in Oakland when she passed away. She left 2 beautiful, awesome daughters, Odette and Ayoka. She was a special person, beautiful inside and out.
We're in our 70's now and my husband has a bit of belly now. I wrap my arms around him, rub his belly, and sing this. It's hilarious. We both crack up!
I was 16 and my mom took me to an Air Force base to have an abortion and the doctor saw tears coming down my face, he whispered and ask if I wanted to keep it, I said yes, he pulled the curtain back and said she’s to far along. My daughter is 46 now and a beautiful daughter for the Father and I. This song had just came out.
I can almost feel what you experienced... When I was not much older than you were when I found myself pregnant with my boyfriend's child... We were high school seniors at the time... When we discussed our options, we were both agreed upon one thing -- I was not going to have an abortion, so we didn't say anything to our parents until we knew my pregnancy was too far gone for one... We wanted to stay together, & both of us raise our child, but our mothers did everything possible to separate & keep us apart... In the far corner of the delivery room was a radio, & this song started playing from that radio at the moment of her birth... Although we lost him to cancer last May 16th, he left behind a beautiful daughter, will be 46 this coming June... @Cyndypigott4112 I don't know you, but I'm happy that things worked out for you, & that you were blessed to be able to keep your beautiful daughter!!
This was written after one of my children was born. We were told to have an abortion at 19weeks. I had German Measles. We struggled with the awful news. We would never tear a baby from my womb. Our child was born and he was perfect. He is Cornell grad and perfectly healthy!!!💝This song is dedicated to our son..we are so happy that we had him!
Whoever told you to get an abortion is nuts. I so happy that you did NOT listen to them. I am so glad you had the baby. Congratulations to you for doing the right thing. God bless you
I was having my first Baby in 1974 & our Friends husband sang it to me! I lost my sweetheart in 2011 & that baby is a Gorgeous Smart Woman all grown up! I still melt hearing this song because my Sweetheart sang it to me all 9 months! I really miss him!
When a beautiful, precious song!! I watch this video over and over and I love it just as much as the first time I saw it! It will always remain in my heart as a special song. I was pregnant and contemplated abortion! I am so glad with all my heart thanking the lord that I did not go through with it. Because my son is the best blessing I have ever gotten! I cannot imagine my life without my son. He gives me strength and helps me every day to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Thank you Jesus with all my heart for my precious son. And thank you Paul Anka for this beautiful song!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰
Paul Anka is one of the most influential singers song writers of the 20th century and going well into the 21st. he's been much underrated. Ms. Coates was a wonderful person with a great voice.
Grew up listening to Paul Anka. When I was pregnant I cherished this song. 40 years later still with my man, and we have one perfect son who I feel so blessed to be a parent.
Odia Coates was a rare talent. She made her career doing session work and back-up, but what an amazing voice she had. She and Paul some beautiful music together. She was gone too soon, too young. RIP Honey.
RIP Ms. Coates. I never realized she was the back up on this song. My sister was born on August 21, 1974 and I recall hearing this song as a 7 year old. I just found out today that she had passed after reading the Wiki page. God bless you! Love you, you had a beautiful voice!
My wife had our first born son in 1975 and b4 that i kept playing that song to her. What fond memories Paul. Thank you for giving us plenty happy tears ❤💯🙏
When my partner went into labour (our first born) and we were heading to the hospital this song came on the radio, I remember thinking how funny it was, I had never heard it before hand. Strange how random things like that happen.
I come back to this place everytime I see Howard singing this song in Big Bang Theory. Which is a lot, since it's one of my favourite episodes. Seeing him sing it shows me how capable human beings are of evolving. The growth of his character in the movie is amazing. Brings me to tears every time 💕
Just watched it, 5-26-22, brings me back every time, loved Paul from the beginning of his career, this song touched my heart, the first time I heard it, and has ever since !!!!!!? ♥️👶
We just watched this episode july 17th 2023 ....and I chastised my hub for not serenading me with it in 1990 but I will now sing it to him as I rub his fat tummy😂😂😂
Yes we sung this to each other also in 1974 but I ended up having, my babies! I had twins. We are still happily married and our twins are turning 45. 😍
Yes! I love the line where he sings that she could have “swept it from her life,” which is beautiful and poetic. “Oh the seed inside you, baby, do you feel it growing?” Is yet another gorgeous line. I’m surprised more songs don’t do this. References to abortion belong in more supposed “love songs!”
Yes, whether you like the song or not, one has to appreciate its true art , when someone can sing like this. Real talents do not get enough praise in this day and age, and it's harder for the mainstream to appreciate.
Here because my parents been playin’ this shit since I was a kid and they played it tonight and got it stuck in my head. Glad I was raised right 🙌🏽 lol
This is such a gem, a really powerful performance, full of sentiment! Wonderful vocals, a beautiful duet with Odia Coates who had a divine voice, really superb music and Paul Anka looked really hot on stage in this performance!
Great song!!! I remembered dedicating it to My wife when our fist son was going to born...This song is full of love...old times when loving was really a comminment...
This is my Song, always happy to hear it play. I had my 2nd daughter in 1974 when this song was out. and yes my face was glowing. " you sin g it very well Mr. Paul Anka".
This song got mocked by the comics, but I think it was thoughtful, and walked a very harrowing PC path...and still sold a million records. Great work by the great one, Paul Anka.
Mocked by comics for good reason. His lyrics make no sense: she’s having HIS baby, he’s singing about how wonderful it is, then he goes off on how she could have “swept it from her life” because he “wouldn’t put her through it?” That part should have been rewritten completely as it doesn’t align with the rest of the song.
One of those brilliant songs of this great Singer. I liked it and felt i would simply adore the girl who was having my baby. What more proof of love can we ask for? -Símply beautiful.
In 1974 I was 23, that's when I first heard this song, by Canada's Paul Anka. 10 yrs later 1983 I had a beautiful baby girl I named Angela. And now 39 yrs later 2022 my beautiful Angela had her very 1st baby, Ever. So I'm sending her this touching beautiful song.
Glorious singer during my 70s high school youth experience....he inspiring not only the audience of that time but also, he motivated with this song to love more our families...God bless him and his family....
What a lovely way to tell the woman you love through a song! Obviously these two people are in love and he wrote a song about it. Married or not it does not matter. She obviously loves him enough to have his baby. I certainly loved my husband enough to have his baby. Paul Anka loved his wife enough to write a song for her on the joy of becoming a father.
I know Paul got a lot of grief then and today for the lyrics, but as a pre-teen I heard this as a profession of love, both celebrating their love for each other and for the child. In hindsight it is awkwardly phrased, but the feelings remain. Also great melody and arrangement.
I remember when this came out, just see it as a beautiful love song and border risque for 1974 'put my seed in you' then he duets with the great and beautiful Odio Coates, which could be another fu to racist and wonder if they ever sang this in the far more ignorant laden deep south ?
I don't see anything wrong with it. If a man was going to profess his love and appreciation for his wife and child there is no better way to put it into words...it is perfect! I do not see where it can be corrected or improved in anyway. It is complete! I truly believe that!!! I literally think it should be... when looking up the definition of the love a man feels for his wife and mother of his child...this should be what you find for an explanation. I find it magical how song writers can capture emotion so well. Id really like to thank Paul for giving humanity such a beautiful song and I wish the cold hearts of those who just don't get it!!! could feel the way most loving Fathers do when they hear it...feel it.
@@jamesholmes1235it's really dated. She's not "having HIS baby", it's "theirs". I doubt any black woman was happy hearing she was not having "our" baby, but it was "his". It's not a minor issue.
I was a teen in a foreign, non English speaking country, where this got a lot of air play, so I didn't get the nuances of the lyrics. Once I understood I couldn't stand them.
@@skyhigh6089 So stupid and trivial! Yes she is having HIS baby. And she is the mother of HIS baby And he is the father of HER baby. It's a wonderful song just the Way it is.
We were eating at Papasitos and I was pregnant with our first child. My husband had the guy walking around playing the guitar cone to our table & sing this to me. I loved it so much. It was so sweet & a beautiful memory. I wish he still loved me.🥲
I have loved this song for as long as i can remember. Now i can understand the. Lyrics not just the feeling that he put in to this wonderful song. Thanks
I never was a Paul Anka fan but love this song and live too. I often tear up or cry hearing this song. I'm 66 now. We wanted Children so bad but I've struggled with severe anxiety, agoraphobia, and depression most of my life. We didn't think it would be fair to reproduce knowing that our Child could inherit these issues as it's been Hell a lot of the time for me. Today, People would be proud as we did not add to the Carbon Footprint. Love this song!
When Odia Coates church found out she sang in bars and clubs they kicked her out of the choir. She toured with Anka, and alas, passed away after fighing breast cancer. What a beautiful woman.
love this song i sang this to my wife as we had 5 miscarriages before my son was born, it brings a tear to my eye today , my son is now 27 , and i love him more than life itself
Hmm .. Lovely ! Having My Baby .. those were the times of innocence youth . I missed my friends . Some have died and some have drifted . The only way to recollect those memories is just to simply listen to these songs !!
Heard this song whilst shopping and couldnt get it out of my head. Listened to it alot since I just think its such a great song about just how special having a baby is.
Since I watched Big Bang Theory, I always think about Howard and Bernadette when I hear this now... And I hope I have a marriage as sweet and sour as theirs one day.
@@buddrossi6451 From a conservative Quaker view. Budd Rossi, first 'liberal' Quakers are like decaffeinated coffee. Is it truly coffee? When he says dogma ect that includes the bible in many 'liberal' meetings(Quaker churches). Most liberal Quakers consider the bible an out dated primitive society rule book that does not have validity today. They reject most things in the bible if it isn't politically correct. Not that many liberals read the bible, when they do they don't seem to give it weight. You see Budd Rossi. The EARLY QUAKERS based everything off the bible. No dogma or pagan traditions that rome absorbed and many protestants dragged behind them. They were the first true sola scriptura faith. When he says 'revelation' it is in a liberal context as well. Most Quakers do not say 'revelation', but that they are lead by the Holy Spirit. Quakers would NEVER suggest that they would add to scripture as the word revelation would suggest. I believe he seriously misrepresented his meeting's congregation's numbers. It seems as many leave Quaker churches as they join. He made it sound like a inrush of new converts. In fact when the flavor of spiritualism was starting to be practiced in many meeting most left Quakerism and ended up in other denominations. Many if not most Quakers left Christianity a long time ago for spiritualism. Most liberal Quakers in fact claim they are not Christians. You see Budd Rossi. I personally wouldn't say a liberal Quaker is a Quaker. If any wants to know about historical Quakerism I can answer your questions.
I didn’t even know there was controversy around this song? It’s beautiful. A man and wife are in love and he’s singing about how happy he is that she is having his babies. That’s all
@@JeanettePerezEDRN what? Why would he sing that she's having his baby if its about abortion? _You_ should learn to understand english, because that's not what the song is about

Amazing. He's going to be down here at the Seminole Casino in 5 days. $125 a pop is a bit steep but would love to see him sing this live. Classic. Great career.
It came out when I was pregnant with my 1st child and it was so special to me and still is. I love this song. It brings back special memories I'll never forget my whole life.
I just started watching BLACKLIST and Tom played this song to Keen whiles she was giving birth and I just fell inlove with the song. So I searched it on RUclips and I love it more.. Hope to play this to that special person soon. ❤️
Having my baby What a lovely way of saying How much you love me. Having my baby What a lovely way of saying What you're thinking of me. I can see it your face is glowing I can see it in your eyes. I'm happy knowin' that you're having my baby. You're the woman I love and I love what it's doin' to you. Having my baby You're a woman in love and I love What's goin' through you. The need inside you I see it showin' Oh The seed inside you Baby Do you feel it growin' Are you happy in knowin' that you're having my baby? I'm a woman in love and I love What it's doin' to me. Having my baby. I'm a woman in love and I love What's goin' through me. Didn't have to keep it Wouldn't put you through it. You could have swept it from your life But you wouldn't do it No You wouldn't do it. And you're having my baby. I'm a woman in love and I love

lovely!
Of course you ARE abortions are for losers or murderous
God bless ❤

Paul Anka is one of the most influential singers song writers of the 20th century and going well into the 21st. he's been much underrated. Ms. Coates was a wonderful person with a great voice.
I saw him last night at 81 years old in concert, wow what a treat he is unbelievable!!! Cheers to you Mr Paul!!!!!
Grew up listening to Paul Anka. When I was pregnant I cherished this song. 40 years later still with my man, and we have one perfect son who I feel so blessed to be a parent.
How about "Bring the Wine "?
I was in elementary school when listened to it and just got reacquainted to the song
Very romantic!
Beautiful music/times!
You are I blessed. My ex was violent to me and so is our son. God bless you all
Odia Coates was a rare talent. She made her career doing session work and back-up, but what an amazing voice she had. She and Paul some beautiful music together. She was gone too soon, too young. RIP Honey.
RIP Ms. Coates. I never realized she was the back up on this song. My sister was born on August 21, 1974 and I recall hearing this song as a 7 year old. I just found out today that she had passed after reading the Wiki page. God bless you! Love you, you had a beautiful voice!
RIP Odia.
Beautiful woman singer with Paul god bless her
She really does
Did not know she passed she had a beautiful voice
I work with an OBGYN, and he always sings this song when he does the ultrasounds on expecting mothers. He loves his job for sure.
Stops them realising the gloves are off..
Stephen Craig too funny
angst 👀👀👀👀😬
I would be so creeped out if my OB sang that to me -he would be FIRED 🤣
That is just weird

Watched that Big Bang episode tonight 7/24/23. It reminded me how much I loved hearing this song back in the early 70's when it was popular ❤
Yes we sung this to each other also in 1974 but I ended up having, my babies! I had twins. We are still happily married and our twins are turning 45. 😍
Awww 🥰
Aww this made my day.
You r so lucky to still have each other. Bless u.
That’s wonderful!
Amen, in Jesus name, and very happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song randomly came into my head this morning. Haven't heard it in years . Still such beautiful song ❤
it's beautiful if you have lettuce for brains.
Yes! I love the line where he sings that she could have “swept it from her life,” which is beautiful and poetic. “Oh the seed inside you, baby, do you feel it growing?” Is yet another gorgeous line. I’m surprised more songs don’t do this. References to abortion belong in more supposed “love songs!”
Wow, what talent! No Autotune, no lip-synch, just raw talent!
Yes, whether you like the song or not, one has to appreciate its true art , when someone can sing like this.
Real talents do not get enough praise in this day and age, and it's harder for the mainstream to appreciate.
I love this song and his voice! Thank you, Mr. Anka for this gorgeous song......
My daughters husband sang this song to her at their “gender reveal” party. I’ve never heard this song before. Such a sweet and touching song. ❤️
I loved it all those years ago on radio Luxembourg and now that I see Paul Anka sing it live, it's even more wonderful, if that's possible!!!
Here because my parents been playin’ this shit since I was a kid and they played it tonight and got it stuck in my head. Glad I was raised right 🙌🏽 lol
Feb 2019... In my younger years I saw Paul sing this right after Odia passed, he could barely hold it together
Huge hit ! Great performance..he is the man.
yes...musicmattie
I was 12 years old when this beautiful song hit the charts and it remained in my mind ever since. mesmerizing song.
Love that woman's voice
This is such a gem, a really powerful performance, full of sentiment! Wonderful vocals, a beautiful duet with Odia Coates who had a divine voice, really superb music and Paul Anka looked really hot on stage in this performance!
Lol, she was awkwardly sitting in the dark almost offstage. He doesn’t even look at her.
@@TravelinBand747 I was about to say the same thing hahahaha
I wonder why?
He looked like Bob Guccione !
Why would he? She’s just like ups, delivering a package
Great song!!! I remembered dedicating it to My wife when our fist son was going to born...This song is full of love...old times when loving was really a comminment...
Love it!
Beautiful Beautiful!
I'm here from The Blacklist. I'm a guy and I don't think I'll ever have a kid but this damn song just touched me...
Exact reason why I looked this song up..#Blacklist
Blacklist
Also here from blacklist
Me too, Blacklist brought me here. The song is well scripted and emotional. It complemented the scene perfectly.
Same here pal
Beautiful song 💕
What a gorgeous hunk of a man, i've always loved this song...his voice is so special.
He is so gorgeous here and very sexy.
This song is simply beautiful!
This is my Song, always happy to hear it play. I had my 2nd daughter in 1974 when this song was out. and yes my face was glowing. " you sin
g it very well Mr. Paul Anka".
I woke up with this song on my mind this morning so I had to go look for it....this is just a beautiful, meaningful song.
This song got mocked by the comics, but I think it was thoughtful, and walked a very harrowing PC path...and still sold a million records. Great work by the great one, Paul Anka.
It sold great among conservatives and was justly derided by the liberals. If I were the mother I would call it "having OUR baby".
Mocked by comics for good reason. His lyrics make no sense: she’s having HIS baby, he’s singing about how wonderful it is, then he goes off on how she could have “swept it from her life” because he “wouldn’t put her through it?” That part should have been rewritten completely as it doesn’t align with the rest of the song.
I absolutely love this honour song of this man to his woman and her response. Simple and full of melody but oh so sweet.
I so love this song. Ty Lori for our 2 beautiful children. Happy mothers day!!!!!
Absolutely soulful, sincere, superb, spellbinding & sweet singing, which is timeless and classic. ❤❤

Could be worse, at least they aren't faking a condition like minaj.

From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
incredibly moving song:) always loved this gem of a song:):)
When Odia Coates church found out she sang in bars and clubs they kicked her out of the choir. She toured with Anka, and alas, passed away after fighing breast cancer. What a beautiful woman.
When did she die?
1991
P Lee don't believe this comment is true. What kind of a church is it that doesn't believe in a second chance?
It is a part of her story
😮😧👍
STILL performs this SO BEAUTIFULLY!!!! A PERSONAL FAV!!!!!!!!!!!!
love this song i sang this to my wife as we had 5 miscarriages before my son was born, it brings a tear to my eye today , my son is now 27 , and i love him more than life itself
oh yeah! Love it...and the lady singer and piano player, wow!
I think more than the words, it is the memory of early 70 s that it evokes. My time machine.
The 70's, when women wore smock dresses and hot pants and wore flowers in their hair.
Hmm .. Lovely ! Having My Baby .. those were the times of innocence youth . I missed my friends . Some have died and some have drifted . The only way to recollect those memories is just to simply listen to these songs !!
Best comment I've seen in awhile 😊
Not lovely, actually gross, narcissistic and sick
This is such an entertaining, and wholesome song about love.
Another Paul Anka classic with the lovely voice of Odia Coates. 🌟
Heard this song whilst shopping and couldnt get it out of my head. Listened to it alot since I just think its such a great song about just how special having a baby is.
I love his smile at the beginning when the crowd started clapping at the second line.
I remember this song when I had my 1st son, it had been out a while, but was my favorite song at that time...brings back so many beautiful memories.
F IS FOR FAMILY -season 2 finale - was the one that brought me here!
123 baby 123 baby...... baby baby baby.....baby baby baby
beautiful song, my three kids were born in 1973-76-79. great memories.
Finn singing this to Quinn is hands down the greatest moment television in television history.
Since I watched Big Bang Theory, I always think about Howard and Bernadette when I hear this now...
And I hope I have a marriage as sweet and sour as theirs one day.
This song is just pure magic!
@@buddrossi6451 From a conservative Quaker view. Budd Rossi, first 'liberal' Quakers are like decaffeinated coffee. Is it truly coffee? When he says dogma ect that includes the bible in many 'liberal' meetings(Quaker churches). Most liberal Quakers consider the bible an out dated primitive society rule book that does not have validity today. They reject most things in the bible if it isn't politically correct. Not that many liberals read the bible, when they do they don't seem to give it weight. You see Budd Rossi. The EARLY QUAKERS based everything off the bible. No dogma or pagan traditions that rome absorbed and many protestants dragged behind them. They were the first true sola scriptura faith. When he says 'revelation' it is in a liberal context as well. Most Quakers do not say 'revelation', but that they are lead by the Holy Spirit. Quakers would NEVER suggest that they would add to scripture as the word revelation would suggest. I believe he seriously misrepresented his meeting's congregation's numbers. It seems as many leave Quaker churches as they join. He made it sound like a inrush of new converts. In fact when the flavor of spiritualism was starting to be practiced in many meeting most left Quakerism and ended up in other denominations. Many if not most Quakers left Christianity a long time ago for spiritualism. Most liberal Quakers in fact claim they are not Christians.
You see Budd Rossi. I personally wouldn't say a liberal Quaker is a Quaker. If any wants to know about historical Quakerism I can answer your questions.
@@buddrossi6451 Another very hostile comment by you. Why do you have so much anger built up on here. It's only a song Budd. Just chill out!
@@georgefox4762 Religious weirdo alert!
absolutely love this song! love my baby
I'm just moved...truly moved. What a wonderful performance!
I just love this song! Beautiful tribute to his wife. You can see the love in his eyes and heart
Amazing never get tired of his singing of it no matter how old I am!!!!
THANK YOU PAUL ANKA, FOR MOVING TO AMERICA AND BRINGING YOUR GIFT OF WRITING & SINGING.!! MGM VEGAS 1985.!! GREAT SHOW.
I didn’t even know there was controversy around this song? It’s beautiful. A man and wife are in love and he’s singing about how happy he is that she is having his babies. That’s all
People will find controversy with everything nowdays. Snowflakes !! 😀
@@dianneperry1741 ...he sings about ABORTION....learn to understand the English language vs calling others snowflakes'
@@JeanettePerezEDRN and he says she didn´t do it... wtf is wrong with that?
@@jessicagonzalez9908 saying its her choice to have had it vs getting rid of it basically.
@@JeanettePerezEDRN what? Why would he sing that she's having his baby if its about abortion? _You_ should learn to understand english, because that's not what the song is about
Love this man, I'm 19 but wish I was around during these performances, his voice just touches somewhere inside of me that I cant describe
I don't see anything wrong with it. If a man was going to profess his love and appreciation for his wife and child there is no better way to put it into words...it is perfect!
I do not see where it can be corrected or improved in anyway. It is complete!
I truly believe that!!! I literally think it should be... when looking up the definition of the love a mam feels for his wife and mother of his child...this should be what you find for an explanation.
I find it magical how song writers can capture emotion so well. Id really like to thank Paul for giving humanity such a beautiful song and I wish the cold hearts of those who just don't get it could feel the way most loving Fathers do when they hear it...feel it.
So brilliantly performed and what a song.
Muy hermosa canción.
Me trae recuerdos de mi infancia !!
Gracias.
I am 59 and never had a baby ,
but I love this song !
58
Me too. I wanted kids never had Any. 😢. I love this song. LOVE kids.In today's world would be tough to have a baby. Have a wonderful day..
Amazing. He's going to be down here at the Seminole Casino in 5 days. $125 a pop is a bit steep but would love to see him sing this live. Classic. Great career.
Being 26years and wishing i was born in that time.. Simpler times..good music 🎶 💙
Odia was so beautiful!May she Rest In Peace!❤️
beautiful song
It came out when I was pregnant with my 1st child and it was so special to me and still is. I love this song. It brings back special memories I'll never forget my whole life.
Love Paul Anka an Amazing talent magical love his concerts
This song is the cutest. We need more Paul Anka's in the world for real 😍
What is there not to like? Why are there any thumbs down? Paul Anka at his best. He came along at the perfect time and this was live. Top that!
I have always cherished Paul Anka's heart felt timeless music.. I love this music with all my heart ❤.

Sarah StaRoth 😂😂😂😂
Sarah StaRoth It was the 1970s. Everything went.
I love that style.😍😍
Big Bang Theory brought me here!! What a lovely song! :)
Happy Happy 80th Birthday Paul! I wish you 80 more years in this world.
I just started watching BLACKLIST and Tom played this song to Keen whiles she was giving birth and I just fell inlove with the song. So I searched it on RUclips and I love it more.. Hope to play this to that special person soon. ❤️
Thanks for putting me onto this song, Uncle Jesse. Becky didn't appreciate it in the moment (understandably), but I'm sure she did afterward.
Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying
How much you love me.
Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying
What you're thinking of me.
I can see it your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes.
I'm happy knowin' that you're having my baby.
You're the woman I love and I love what it's doin' to you.
Having my baby
You're a woman in love and I love
What's goin' through you.
The need inside you
I see it showin'
Oh
The seed inside you
Baby
Do you feel it growin'
Are you happy in knowin' that you're having my baby?
I'm a woman in love and I love
What it's doin' to me.
Having my baby.
I'm a woman in love and I love
What's goin' through me.
Didn't have to keep it
Wouldn't put you through it.
You could have swept it from your life
But you wouldn't do it
No
You wouldn't do it.
And you're having my baby.
I'm a woman in love and I love
