Eight Pounds Lyrics by J Smith (IRL)

(...) And You Chose Not To Laugh

2021

[Verse 1]
It was easy to buy a ring
Pull out my pockets, sift through the lint
But you're giving me more than I
Can repay in my short life
[Chorus]
I wish I could give you more than this
'Cause eight pounds won't compare to anything
That I could give so I will sing
'Til my lungs give out
[Verse 2]
There's so much we can expect
And it's thanks to you now I'll get
A chance to know how my Dad
Felt holding me in his hands
[Chorus]
I wish I could give you more than this
'Cause eight pounds won't compare to anything
That I could give so I will sing
'Til my lungs give out
[Outro]
With one born every minute
A heart starts on the clock
I'll lay my chest on you baby
And pretends its hasn't stopped
I hope that you still feel it
That forever you're a mother
I'll lay my chest on you baby
And pretend it's his or hers
And pretend it's his or hers
Pretend it's his or hers
