Single Father

Lately I've been spendin' Lots of time with my kid Tellin' him stories About the things that we did When we were a family Long time ago I've answered his questions Till I'm blue in the face Wish all that hurt in him I could erase But I tell him the truth 'Cause he ain't to young to know Single father Part time mother When I'm not one Then I'm the other And you used to be My full time lover Now I'm a single father And a part time mother I spend every minute I can with my boy There's no doubt about it He's my pride and joy Someday he will grow up And I won't have him no more Some things I just find Too hard to explain So we go to McDonalds Or I buy him a train And we put it together On the living room floor Such is the life Of a single father He says daddy explain If it's not too much bother While it's just you and me Living here in this home I don't understand it And neither does he Why there's just two When there should be three of us Sharing this moment Lord, I feel so alone Single father Part time mother When I'm not one Then I'm the other And you used to be My full time lover Now I'm a single father And a part time mother And you used to be My full time lover Now I'm a single father And a part time mother Now I'm a single father And a part time mother
