Rosie and her baby, waitin' by the mail
Hopin' that just maybe it won't be late again
Sweet sixteen should never feel so tired and old
Rosie and her baby, feelin' all alone

Her mama tried to help her do the best she can
Grandpa does his best to try and understand
They've already raised their own kids before
Though they do love Rosie, they can do no more

Chorus:
Babies havin' babies, happenin' more and more
Thought it'd be so cool, now it's such a chore
Babies havin' babies, just like Mom and Dad
Babies havin' babies, kids havin' kids

Rosie liked to party before she had a child
She liked to run around and get a little wild
Now she's up in her room watching MTV
Thinkin' 'bout her friends and how it used to be

Her mama did the same thing when she was just as old
Kids will do what they see and not what they're told
On the first day and the fifteenth they're waitin' for their checks
And it just keeps gettin' harder not to have regrets

Chorus x 3

Rosie and her baby, waitin' by the mail
Hopin' that just maybe it won't be late again
