[Verse 1]

Oh unborn child, beginning to grow inside your momma, but you'll never know

Stop, turn around, go back think it over
[Verse 2]
Oh no momma, just let it be. You'll never regret it, just wait and see
Think of all the great ones who gave everything

[Chorus]
Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over
Stop, turn around, go back think it over
