Before I had a baby
I didn’t care anyway
I thought about the back door
I didn’t know what to say

But once I got a baby
I, I tried every way
She didn’t wanna do it
But she did anyway

But baby please don’t refuse
You know you got nothin’ to lose

You got nothin’ to lose
You got, got nothin’ to lose, well nothin’
You got, got nothin’ to lose, yeah baby

You got, got nothin’ to lose, well come on mama
You got, got nothin’ to lose, yeah shake your

You got, you got, you got nothin’ to lose

So now I’ve got a baby
And we’ve tried every way
You know she wants to do it
And she does anyway

But baby please don’t refuse
You know you got nothin’ to lose
