Young and free
Feeling like the world is yours
Avoiding advice
Saying, That won't be me!

Your weekend with friends didn't go as planned
Now you've got a baby on the way
And you haven't got a man

Up in the air
Your life got out of hand
No answers in sight
And you haven't got a plan

All your "best" friends
That you hold so dear
Can't make time to help you
They've made that clear

Alone the future brings fright
Not wanting to admit it
Your parents were right

Time passed
As you raised your baby on your own
Doing everything in your ability
To make a home

You made it work
Even when money was tight
Good men came along
But you pushed them away out of spite

You and your child got along just fine
Afraid to let anyone else in
Never letting someone
Hurt you again
Not this time
