Grow for Me

I've put you in sunlight,
I've fed you yogurt,
You've given me nothing,
But heartache and hurt!
I'm begging you sweetly,
I'm down on my knees.
Oh please - grow for me!

I've given you Gerber's,
I've tried I.V. drips,
I've given you applesauce,
You've given me zip!
Oh god how I feed you,
Oh babe, how you tease!
So please, grow for me!

I've tried everything I know,
To get you to thrive,
Considering who your parents are,
Why are you alive?!

I've tried all the formulas out there,
Each one was a dud,
I've given you strained pears with vitamin supplements,
What do you want from me blood?

Ouch! Hey, you smiled! Well I guess a few drops couldn't hurt, as long as you don't make a habit out of it or anything...

I've given you soy milk,
And many fruits strained...
Looks like you're not happy
'Less I open a vein!

I'll give you a few drops,
If that'll appease...
Now please...
Oh, please...

Ouch! Let go of me!
