Single Father

Lately I've been spendin' lots of time
with my kid
Tellin' him stories
Of 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 the hurt in him
I could erase
But I tell him the truth
'Cause he ain't too young to know

Single father
Part time mother
When I'm not one
Then I'm the other
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'll 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
Why 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
You used to be
My full time lover
Now I'm a single father
And a part time mother
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
