The Right to Choose

Everybody has the right to choose,

everybody has the right to choose,

if they don't want to have a baby,

say you don't want to have a baby.

'Cause it takes two to love, and takes two to try

so why not take two to create new life?

If you're wanting to have a baby,

you gotta both wanna have a baby.

You ain't got no right, you ain't got no room

to tell your woman what to do when it comes to her womb!

If she don't want to have a baby,

then she doesn't have to have a baby.

'Cause everybody has a right to choose,

everybody has the right to choose

if the don't want to have a baby,

if they don't want to have a baby.

 

I say "Hey, dearie-

You shouldn't be afraid to tell me!"

If you don't want to have a baby,

then you don't have to have a baby.

I love my future baby more than anything else,

so I'm thinking of her when I say to myself-

"I ain't ready to have a baby,

I just can't be having a baby."

I don't care what culture, and I don't care what world,

peace, love, and respect is what you give to your girl.

If she don't want to have a baby,

she shouldn't have to have a baby.

'Cause everybody has a right to choose,

everybody has a right to choose

if they don't want to have a baby,

then you don't have to have a baby!
