[Intro – Spoken] I went down to my auntie's place, just to take it slow Met a little baby cousin, smiling like he knows Then grandma said, “You got this,” and out the door she goes [Verse 1] The baby starts cryin’ soon as she’s gone I freeze like a statue, don’t know what’s goin’ on Tried a song, tried a bottle, but the crying just goes on [Chorus] Babysitter blues, I’m in over my head Milk won’t help, and lullabies are dead This tiny soul’s got me hangin’ by a thread [Verse 2] I bounce, I hum, I dance like a fool But nothing I do breaks the crying rule I’m outta tricks, so I start to cry too [Chorus] Babysitter blues, I cried and he laughed That little smile cut my pain in half Grandma walks in, and we’re both a mess— But somehow, it felt like success [Bridge – Spoken or Sung] Sometimes life don’t need no plan Just a tear, a laugh, and a helping hand I ain’t no hero, but I did what I can [Final Chorus] Babysitter blues, I grew a bit today That baby showed me a brand new way We cried, we laughed, and we made it through Me and that kid—just us two [Outro – Spoken] Next time… I’ll learn how to warm the bottle first
