Cruel Day - G Clair

Here's one for every exhausted mother and dad out there struggling through sleepless nights trying to console a crying infant. God bless you and give you the strength and rest you need.
Sometimes, baby make me
want to scream and shout
Sometimes, baby, make me wanna pull my grey hairs out
this one means you're hungry
next one means you're tired
If words could flow, then we would know, but that's not how you're wired

and it's a cruel day
comin'
It's a cruel day
at my door
It's a cruel day
Someday
I'll say
"Baby, I can't take you anymore".

This one means you're hurtin'~
Coming all undone
I'd kiss your hurts away all day but Babe, it's half passed one
This one's 'cause you're lonely
Lying in the dark
You slept all day,
It's time to play but I can't raise my carcass

It's a cruel day
comin'
It's a cruel day
at my door
It's a cruel day
Someday
I'll say
"Baby I can't take you anymore".

If colic were the reason
that you can't sleep at night
Well I could understand it but there's just no end in sight
that one's 'cause you're angry
tryin' to get me back
been fed and changed and walked and rocked but Babe, I'm in the sack

And it's a cruel day
comin'
It's a cruel day
at my door
it's a cruel day
someday
I'll say
"Baby,I can't take you anymore".

Monday morning yawing
barely slept a wink
up since Sunday morning, Baby, I can hardly think
Suddenly it's dawning
The answer to my prayer
I tiptoe in and smile at you asleep without a care

and it's a school day
coming
it's a school day
at your door
it's a school day
someday
you'll say
" Momma let me sleep a little more!"

And a cruel day
comin'
Oh a cruel day
at my door
will be a cruel day
one day
you'll say
"Mamma, I can't take you anymore".
