The Price of False Love
by Rebecca Eells
He said that he loved me
He said it was right, as I gave in and said okay that night
Now, I am standing here to say, Daddy, I’m pregnant. Now I have to pay
I am sorry I did it
Disappointment is on your face
You are ashamed, and I’m a disgrace
I wish you would yell, but you only cry
It hurts more than anything, I wish I could die
I will have this baby
It’s the only way to go
I can’t do it by myself, that I do know
I need your help. I am still your little girl
But I no longer shine like your tiny pearl
Daddy, please forgive me
I know it was wrong
But if you don’t, I cannot get along
Don’t take it out on him
It’s just as much my fault, too
I know he will leave me
That’s what he will choose
Daddy, I love you
I know you are hurt, but now, it is time
Please be alert
Please stand by my side and hold my hand
Things are not going the way they had planned
Promise me one thing; you will love this baby
It’s not her fault
She will live…maybe
Tell my baby that I loved her, too
Please don’t be scared to tell her the truth
Here she comes
Now, I have to go
I’m sorry I hurt you, for I love you so
