Lyrics Daughter or Son - Kayak

Daughter or Son

Watching belly grow
There s so much I would like to know
Such a strange affair
Is it really there?
Is it really so?
Doctor knows what s best
Little work and a little rest
Don t misunderstand
He s a clever man
You can trust his test
But time will come that doctors want to know
What you would like
Or what you would prefer
A boy or a girl
Then you ll look at her
And not find the words
Now what do you want?
Daughter or son
Picking the one
Daughter or son
Science taking giant steps
It s bringing back the fun
What do you want?
Daughter or son?
Man controlling life
So afraid he might not survive
If you only knew
What they re doing to keep us all alive
Such a big mistake
To decide if we give or take
Little mystery
Waiting patiently
For its time to wake
But time will come that doctors want to know
What you would like
Or what you would prefer
A boy or a girl
Then you ll look at her
And not find the words
Now what do you want?
Daughter or son
Picking the one
Daughter or son
