From the recording Beautiful Mistake
Lyrics
BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE Lani Ford 2002 She looks up at me Helpless baby My beautiful mistake I lost his number I forgot his name He had no money I could take So the rabbit croaked My life got choked My feet got soaked And I was broke But I did it anyway I could not say no So I gave up blow I had nowhere to go And I started to show I felt her more everyday My beautiful, beautiful mistake Beautiful, beautiful mistake Those precious eyes Her precious life Was something I couldn’t take So I fed her proper I gave up offers For my beautiful mistake So my clothes got tight Welfare set me right I lied awake at night But she was worth the fight So I did it anyway I could not be freed So I gave up weed I had a need To harvest the seed I felt her more everyday My beautiful, beautiful mistake Beautiful, beautiful mistake She looks up at me Gorgeous baby My beautiful mistake I hold her in my arms And I’ll never harm My beautiful mistake So she loves me more Than anyone before And I just adore I’d do anything for My beautiful mistake And she’ll always be The one who sets me free The one who helps me see And makes me want to believe My beautiful mistake My beautiful, beautiful mistake My beautiful, beautiful mistake My beautiful, beautiful mistake
