Carly Simon - WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE CHILD lyrics

I know I’m not what you wanted

Not what you had in mind

And I didn’t come close

To the mark you’d set

For the girl you’d planned to find

Tho we often laughed together

You’ve never seen me cry

We shared but idle words

And a casual goodbye

And what shall we do with the child

Who’s got your eyes

My hair

And your smile

Reminding me that we fell in love

But just for a little while

You never asked about the girl you never knew

And while she was sleeping in my arms

She never asked about you

Without you seems the only way

But time has passed and now

She’ll soon be asking questions

And she’ll ask about you

And how

Shall I say to the child

Who’s got your eyes, my hair, your smile

Reminding me that we fell in love

But just for a little while

What shall we do with the child

Who’s got your eyes, my hair and your smile
