For The Kids Video (MV)

Big backyard with a fence around it
Right next to the best school in the county
Sold the car and financed a Tahoe with a third row
All week, you're running from dance to baseball
The dinner you fixed gets cold while I take a call

You're tired all the time
I'm tired all the time

For the kids, I go to work, you stay at home
Do what we do just to get through and watch them grow
We fill this house with love
But somehow lose it between us
We swore we'd never end up like this
Married for the kids

We can tell that somethin' don't feel right
Try to talk it out on Wednesday date night
But always end up in some kind of big fight
Don't even know why
I guess I just miss my blue jean baby
And you miss your Friday night man

We keep holding on
'Cause we gotta be strong

For the kids, I go to work, you stay at home
Do what we do just to get through and watch them grow
We fill this house with love
But somehow lose it between us
We swore we'd never end up like this
Married for the kids

For the kids, we stay up crying all night long
But in my arms, I know it's right where you belong
We fill this house with love
It begins and ends with us
Baby, there ain't nothing we can't fix
I know you don't want it and I don't want it like this
Married for the kids
Married for the kids
