Single Father

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