What Will Baby Be Lyrics - Dolly Parton

A young couple marries, already fighting 

Along comes baby makin' them three 

Trouble's all he hears from the time he's in didies 

Baby don't know just what to believe 

Angry words and spiteful actions 

Baby's gonna cut his teeth on these 

If that's gonna be the main attraction 

What will the baby be, what will baby be 

Baby needs love and needs direction 

Baby's first school is the family 

For they are only a reflection 

Of the things they see, what will baby be

Chorus: 

What will baby be after baby is grown 

What will baby do if baby don't know what's right or wrong 

Got to show them love, got to teach them truth 

'Cause what baby is when baby grows up 

Well, that depends entirely on me and you 

Depends entirely on me and you 

Baby thinks God is just a curse word 

Never said a prayer 'cause he's never been taught 

They remember and repeat what they've heard 

So I ask who's really at fault 

So many questions, so few answers 

So many lessons we don't teach 

Stumbling through like clumsy dancers 

What will baby be, what will baby be 

2nd Chorus:

What will baby be after baby is grown 

What will baby do when baby is out there on his own 

Teach the children how to be all they should be 

'Cause what baby is when baby grows up 

Depends entirely on you and me 

Depends entirely on you and me 

What will baby be
