Better sit down kids I'll tell you why, kids
|
You might not understand, kids
|
But give it a try, kids
|
Now how should I put this I've got something to say
|
Your mother is staying but I'm going away
|
No, we're not mad, kids it's hard to say why
|
Your mother and I don't see eye to eye
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Say your prayers before you go to bed
|
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
|
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
|
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
|
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
|
A whole lot more than she ever did before
|
No more fights over little things
|
Because I won't be here to stop them anymore
|
|
I know you don't want this, neither do we
|
But sometimes things happen that we can't foresee
|
Now try to be calm kids, and don't look so sad
|
Just cause I am leaving, I'll still be your dad
|
Just remember I love you though I'm not here
|
Just call if you need me and I'll always be near
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well I have to go now so kiss me goodbye
|
My eyes are just red kids, I'm too big to cry
|
