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
