What Shall We Do With The Child Lyrics - Carly Simon

I know I'm not what you wanted not what you had in mind 

And I didn't come close to the mark you'd set 

For the girl you'd planned to find 

Though we often laugh together you've never seen me cry 

We shared but idle words and a casual goodbye 

And what shall we do with the child? 

Who's got your eyes my hair and your smile 

Reminding me that we fell in love 

But just for a little while 

You never asked about the girl you never knew 

And while she was sleeping in my arms 

She never asked about you without you seems the only way 

But time has passed and now she'll soon be asking questions

And she'll ask about you and how shall I say to the child 

Who's got your eyes, my hair, your smile 

Reminding me that we fell in love but just for a little while 

What shall we do with the child? 

Who's got your eyes, my hair and your smile
