My dad says I’ll be lawyer
And I would like to write
My future will be better without you
That’s why we’re here tonight

If my mom found out about you
She’d go into a Catholic rage
She would kick me out of her house
I’d be working minimum wage

I want to go to school, baby
I want to go on in life
I could be so much more, baby
That’s why you’re getting the knife

I haven’t finished high school, baby
I have one more year to go
I should have listened to my friends
I should have just said no

I don’t know why I didn’t think
Before I got into your daddy’s bed
I guess that the consequences
Didn’t go through my stupid head

Your daddy can’t help us now, baby
And my pain endurance is so low
But since I didn’t, and since you’re here
To the clinic we have to go

I hope you know I’m sorry, baby
And that I’ve thought this through
The choice was my life or yours
And I had to choose to kill you
