He said, "hey, how you doin', how did you sleep last night?"

She said, "fine, how you been, I slept alright"

He said, "I've been wanted to talk to you, I got a bit of news"

She said, "sure, why you crying, what's wrong with you!"

He said, "I got a baby on the way, I'm sorry"

She said nothing for awhile, she said nothing

He said, "baby, please respond, I feel so bad about what I've done"

She said, "why did you do this to me, huh?"

He said, "I made a mistake and slipped up

Please don't hate me 'cause I messed up"

She said, "I don't hate you, I just hate that you have to choose"

She continues, "now what are you gonna do, I will help you raise the child

If you sever your ties, if you want me in your life"

Such a simple complication

It's a sad story 'cause they never knew

Oh, it hurts so just to hear this conversation

'Cause they really don't know what they need to do

He replied, "I got to be a man, and I got to handle responsibility"

She said, "why do you have to leave, you said you loved me"

He said, "do and I always will I'm just distraught on how to deal with

What I did and how you feel still, I'm about to be a daddy"

She said, "I know, and it's so beautiful but don't make a decision yet

And do something that you might regret, you don't have to get married to be a good daddy"

She said, "that's the only way that I know"

Such a simple complication

It's a sad story 'cause they never knew

Oh, it hurts so just to hear this conversation

'Cause they really don't know what they need to do

Sometimes there are predicaments

That we aren't meant

To solve on our own alone we have

The right conversation with the wrong

Person never thinking to ask the one

Who has the answers to it all

Such a simple complication

It's a sad story 'cause they never knew

Oh, it hurts so just to hear this conversation

'Cause they really don't know what they need to do
