Iko Garcia - 1996

She had him at 38
In 96, she used to wait
She'd show you pictures of a newborn baby
A little crying boy she thought you'd like to see
But you never returned
Never returned

Tell me, what was running on your mind
In 1996
In 1996
Why'd you have to leave the boy behind
In 1996
In 1996
If all you cared about is yourself
Why do you have to pop the question and pretend
Thought you said he's your one of a kind
In 1996
In 1996
In 1996

For years, he's used to farewells
Overseas, she worked like hell
She tried her best to feed him well
Fought her way through stormy weathers, no one could tell
I doubt you could do that
There's no fuckin' way in hell that you can possibly do that

Tell me, what was running on your mind
In 1996
In 1996
Why'd you have to leave the boy behind
In 1996
In 1996
If all you cared about is yourself
Why do you have to pop the question and pretend
Thought you said he's your one of a kind
In 1996
In 1996
In 1996

As the years go by
He grew up with a lie
He thought you jumped out of a plane
When he asked, that's what she explained
As ridiculous as it seemed
It was a reality he made peace with
To think of you already dead
The guy who's s'posed to be his dad
(Dead dad, dead dad, dead dad, dead dad)

Tell me, what was running on your mind
In 1996
In 1996
Why'd you have to leave the boy behind
In 1996
In 1996
If all you cared about is yourself
Why do you have to pop the question and pretend
Thought you said he's your one of a kind
In 1996
In 1996
In 1996

Tell me, what was running on your mind
In 1996
In 1996
Glad she left the worst days all behind
In 1996
In 1996
Cuz all you cared about is yourself
And in hindsight, they're better off without you anyway
Cuz you ain't good enough to raise a child
In 1996
In 1996
In 1996
