Baby Girl - Nicole C. Mullen

I’ve got a little friend

Her age is 4 plus ten

She calls me on the phone crying every

Now and then

She says, «My mamma just won’t listen

My daddy still is missin'

I dont feel i am nothing of value or worth»

I say, «Baby girl get a hold of yourself

Baby girl don’t you know your wealth

You’re a diamond hiding on a shelf

Baby girl, baby girl

Baby girl dont you know who you are

God has made you a shining star

A little light is brighter than the dark

Baby girl, baby girl»

I call my sister friend

I’m crying and whining again

She lets me vent my heart

Before the healing starts

(and i say) my children just won’t listen

My paycheck still is missin'

And every little thing is working my nerve

(she says) «Baby girl get a hold of yourself

Baby girl don’t you know your wealth

You’re a diamond hiding on a shelf

Baby girl, baby girl

Baby girl dont you know who you are

God has made you a shining star

A little light is brighter than the dark

Baby girl, baby girl»
