Don’t You Want the Baby lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were looking rather wasted as you talked to God
When I met you
I chewed you out and said, "You're drunk" -- you said you were not
Turns out you had told the truth
A few years later on you've got a child at your feet
You said that wasn't easy for you
The LORD your God received your prayer and gave you a child
And now you've brought him back here, too

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't -- don't you want him?
You know if Samuel leaves you and is here then you won't see him
Don't -- don't you want him?
You know he's safe with Eli, Hannah dear, but you might need him
Sons are hard to find -- and if you change your mind
You cannot take him back and we will both be sorry

[Chorus]
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want thе baby -- Don't you want him, oh?

[Verse 2]
I was certainly not wasted as I talked to God -- that was just rudе
But even then I used a final touch when I prayed
Sealed it with a big vow, too
The child you see I've had has been God's good sign
I'm still not through
But now I think it's time he lived his life for the Lord
And bless this tent in Shiloh, too
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't -- don't you want him?
You know if Samuel leaves you and is here then you won't see him
Don't -- don't you want him?
You know he's safe with Eli, Hannah dear, but you might need him
Sons are hard to find -- and if you change your mind
You cannot take him back and we will both be sorry

[Chorus]
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?

[Chorus Outro]
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby -- Don't you want him, oh?
Don't you want the baby...
