God Bless the Child

[Intro]
You see, the second I came into this world, I felt like I was just born to sing
And if you let me in, I'll show you why

Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news

[Hook]
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got her own

You know I think I like the way that sounds a little but better don't you?

Yes the strong get smart
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade

[Hook]
So Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got her own, that's got her own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding around your door
And when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come around here no more
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't you, don't you dare take too much

[Hook]
So your Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got her own, that's got her own

Yeah
Hoo

Said God bless (god bless)
Said God bless (god bless)
Said God bless (god bless)
Said God bless

Now see
God bless this child that's got her own
That's got her own
