i never thought she'd leave the kids with daddy
i'm so surprised to realize she would
the night she left the family home
i sat and cried alone
and i would find her
and love her if i could.
it's true, my drinking days became disaster
and all her friends said we should end, for sure
when i got home late one night
i knew it wasn't right
but i would find her
and love her if i could.
i don't know where to look
i do it by the book
the laundry's in a pile
i ain't got time to smile
i'm sorry for what i've done
you can't please everyone
i never thought she'd leave the kids with daddy.
i don't know where to look
everything she took
is gone many a mile
she won't come back for awhile
i'm sorry for what i've done
you pay for having fun
(i blame kelly clarkson)
i never thought she'd leave the kids with daddy
she broke my heart and now i start to cry
it's been a long and lonely year
to live without her here
i would find her
and love her
if i could
oh my.
