Lately we're acting like two kids in school
Spelling out things so he wont know we're through
We know it's over and we don't want to say
But letter by letter, he showed me today
And he really turned my head
As he turned around, with a tear in his eye, and said:
Hey d-a-d-d-y
I saw m-a-m-a cry
Say your not going away
Is it because of me
Have I been b-a-d
Please, daddy, please won't you stay
'Cos if you leave
What will you do with m-e
So I picked him up, sat him down on my knee
I thought I'd explain but, again, he showed me
We've been too busy avoiding the blame
We forgot the real heart who will lose in this game
And I still love you, I just did'nt see
'Til he opened my eye's, and he spelled it out to me
Hey d-a-d-d-y
I saw m-a-m-a cry
Say your not going away
Is it because of me
Have I been b-a-d
Please, daddy, please won't you stay
'Cos if you leave
What will you do with m-e
Hey d-a-d-d-y
I saw m-a-m-a cry
Say your not going away
Is it because of me
Have I been b-a-d
Please, daddy, please won't you stay
'Cos if you leave
What will you do with m-e
Oh, daddy if you leave, what will you do
With me?
