Mi Chica Boba

I tried to do the right thing Every step along the way We can go right now, we have to stay I wish that we could run and hide but that's no way to raise a child I won't let them come take you away There was a time not long ago When we were oh so happy, oh Madre, padre, and our little girl Mi chica boba, I remember You cried that day at school Said your friends were mean to you Mi chica boba, I remember Every drawing that you made Every word you've ever said Mi chica boba Are you really better off With people who have lots of stuff I can't give you half the things you need My trembling hands say it's not so My breaking heart, it tells me no The very thought leaves me so dead inside Mi chica boba, I remember Rocking you to sleep And dancing cheek to cheek Mi chica boba, I remember All the times we've laughed, And every hug we've had You'd smile and then you'd make a face Leave your clothes all round the place We were poor but we were happy, no Mi chica boba, please remember You're everything I am, and everything I do Mi chica boba, please remember I love you, and I'm doing the best I can
