[Chorus:]
|
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
|
You 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
|
|
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
|
And 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
|
|

You Better Sit Down Kids
