I haven't met you yet, but I'm already sure I like you Bet you got a cute face and got cute ways too From the look in your Mother's eyes I can tell she adores you I stay up late thinking of things to say to you But right now you're the size of a berry Growing in your Mother's belly We can't wait to know who you are I haven't met you yet, but I'm already sure I like you From the look in her eye, your Mother likes you too It'll be 7 more months before we meet you But we already know how deeply we care for you But right now you're the size of a berry Growing in your Mother's belly We can't wait to see who you become But right now you're the size of a berry And to be honest it's a little bit scary We can't wait to know who you are We can't wait to see who you become
