here, my dear lyrics

I guess I'll have to say
"This album is dedicated to you"
Although perhaps I may not've, be happy
This is what you want
So I've conceded
I hope it makes you happy
There's a lot of truth in it, baby

I don't think I'll have many regrets, baby
The things didn't have to be the way they was, baby
You don't have the right to use the son of mine
To keep me in line
One thing I can't do without
Is the boy whom God gave to both of us
I'm so happy, ah for the son of mine

So here it is, babe
I hope you enjoy, reminisce, be happy
Think about the kisses and the joy
But there were those other moments too
The times that were cloudy and grey, bad
Ah, but you taught me that was life

May love ever possess you
May peace come into your life
May you always think of me the way I was
I was your baby
This is what you wanted
Here, dear, here it is
Here, my dear, here it is
