I'm not proud of what I've done and who I've been
There are things you'll never know for as long as you live
But I have no regrets because my mistakes brought me to you
And you've taught me how to love more than I ever knew
I shouldn't have kept him in my life
Little one, I'll always be by your side
So you won't have to, cry, cry
One day you'll find out that life is cruel
That people steal and cheat and do things you wouldn't do
But I'll be here to protect you, I promise it's true
I'm a better woman now because I have you
I shouldn't have kept him in my life
Little one, I'll always be by your side
So you won't have to, cry, cry
Sleep tight now, I'll sing you a lullaby
You don't have to cry, cry, cry, wipe your eyes
And when you're scared, I will hold you tight
You don't have to cry, cry, cry, wipe your eyes
I shouldn't have kept him in my life
Little one, I'll always be by your side
So you won't have to, cry, cry
