My Baby Cry 03:44
I didn't mean to make nobody cry I would take back what I did and that's no lie I have no memory, I was out of my mind But I didn't mean to make nobody cry I didn't mean to mess nobody around Rip his heart from his chest stomp it into the ground I went looking for something that I never found but I didn't mean to mess nobody around What do you, you want from me I've got guilt written all over my face I would do, do anything to turn back the hands of time Baby, let's go back in time Didn't mean to hurt nobody's pride Tell me what can I do, I know he's hurting inside He said it's not what I did It's how I lied I didn't mean to hurt nobody's pride What do you, you want from me I've got guilt written all over my face I would do, do anything to turn back the hands of time Baby, let's go back in time Didn't mean to make my nobody cry Ruin all that we had for some other guy I knew it was bad by the look in his eye but I didn't mean to make nobody cry No, no, didn't mean to make nobody cry

Face the World Alone For the last twenty years I’ve been looking out for you But now you’re grown and ready to go And face the world alone For the past twenty years I’ve seen you every single day But now it’s time for us to say goodbye And face the world alone Face the world alone In my life I have seen The person you’ve grown up to be And I’m proud to know that you are mine And face the world alone Face the world alone You’ll be my baby, be my baby forever x 4 I knew this day had to come Please don’t worry about Cause baby, baby, baby it’s you’re time to shine And face the world alone x 4

about

Lauren's debut EP ‘One Step Closer’ is a ladle of carefully crafted soul-food, taped over three days at Cotton Mouth Studios with locally sourced, heavyweight ingredients in the shape of some of Manchester’s most sought-after musicians.

Each of the independently produced EP’s five tracks is a clarion call to the classic craft of music making á la Stax. Vocals, guitars, drums, keys, horns and string section were all laid down live in analogue – on genuine vintage equipment (including a purpose-bought 45-year old vocal mic) turning the saying “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” on its head.
