[Verse 1: R. Kelly]
What is this news you've got to tell me?
Girl, What has got you so excited?
Why Would you call me on my job
When I'm right in the middle of writing?
See, you've got this look upon your face
Spit it out, girl, I just cannot wait
To get whatever it is up out of you
So tell me, girl, What it do?

[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly & Sheri Hauk]
I'll give you a hint
It crawls 'fore it walks
In a couple of years
It begins to talk
And it makes us so happy
Girl, are you telling me...

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Sheri Hauk]
I'm havin' a baby
Oh, I'm so happy
I'm havin' a baby
And I'm so glad to be that baby's daddy
I'm havin' a baby
A little girl, a little boy, a little you, a little me
I'm havin' a baby
Girl, it doesn't matter as long as it's healthy

[Verse 2: R. Kelly]
While I can't believe I'm gonna be a father
In 9 months, a child will be born
Baby, you're pregnant in April
Which means we're havin' a Capricorn
I'm so glad to be a part of this
'Cause girl, a child is heaven sent
This is a blessing to me
To have you bear my seed

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Sheri Hauk]
I'm havin' a baby
Girl, I'm so glad that...
I'm havin' a baby
And I'm so proud to be that baby's daddy
I'm havin' a baby
A little girl, a little boy, a little you, a little me
I'm havin' a baby
Girl, it doesn't matter just as long as it's healthy

[Bridge: R. Kelly]
Girl, you got me staring at you from head to toe (head to toe)
When I look at you, it's like you've got this glow
So much respect I got for you
Girl, since you told me what's good
Ever since you told me, I love you more
Girl, what I feel is so spiritual
And baby, our lives have been changed
Now I want you to have my last name

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Sheri Hauk]
I'm havin' a baby
Girl, I'm so glad...
I'm havin' a baby
And I'm so proud to be that baby's daddy
I'm havin' a baby
Said a little boy, a little girl, a little you, a little me
I'm havin' a baby
Girl, it doesn't matter, and now here it is, 9 months later

[Outro: R. Kelly & Sheri Hauk]
I'm havin' a baby
(push) I want you to (push)
I need ya to (push)
Come on, baby (push)
I'm havin' a baby
(push) (push) I'm right here (push) hold my hand (push)
I'm havin' a baby
(push) Baby push, breathe (push) you're almost there (push)
I'm havin' a baby
(push) I love ya (push) (push) (push) (push) (push)
I'm havin' a baby
Girl, I can see it (push) it's like a dream (push) a miracle (push)
I'm havin' a baby
A child unto me (push) a baby boy (push) a Robert Jr. (push)
Thank you God...

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
