lyrics

well i'm up way up here in this womb
i'm looking all around
i'm looking out my belly button window
i see nothing but a whole lot of frowns and
i'm wondering if you don't want me around

hey just what seems to be the fuss out there?
just what seems to be the hang?
'cause you know if you don't want me hanging around this time
i'll be glad to go back to spirit land
i'll even take a longer rest
before coming down the shoot again
i sure remember the last time baby
they're still honkin' bout me there

'cause if you don't want me now
make up your mind, this way or that
'cause if you don't want me now
make up your mind, this way or that
'cause i ain't coming down this way too much more

you know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills
but I think you're just a little too late
'cause i'm coming down into this world
regardless of love or hate
i'm gonna sit up in your bed and
i'm going to grin right in your face and then
i'm gonna eat up all your chocolates and
say "i hope i'm not too late"

'cause if you don't want me now
make up your mind, this way or that
'cause if you don't want me now
make up your mind, this way or that
'cause I ain't coming down this way too much more

well i'm way up here in this womb
i'm looking all around
i'm looking out my belly button window
i see nothing but a whole lot of frowns
i'm wondering if you don't want me around
