Eat for two lyrics

Oh, baby blankets and baby shoes

Baby slippers, baby spoons, walls of baby blue

Dream child in my head

Is a nightmare born in a borrowed bed

Now I know lightning strikes again

It struck me once, then struck me dead

My folly grows inside of me

I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

Walk for two, eat for two, breathe for two now

Well, the egg man fell down off his shelf

All the good King's men with all their help

Struggled 'til the end

For a shell they couldn't mend

You know where this will lead

To hush and rock in the nursery

For the kicking one inside of me

I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

When the boy was a boy, the girl was a girl

They found each other in a wicked world

Strong in some respects

But she couldn't stand for the way he begged

And gave in

Pride is for men, young girls should run and hide instead

Risk the game by taking dares with "yes"

Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

Walk for two? I'm stumbling

Walk for two? I'm stumbling

Breathe for two, how? I can't breathe

I can't breathe

Five months, how it grows

Five months now, I begin to show
