Lately we're acting like two kids in school
Spelling out things so he won't 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 you're not going away
Is it because of me, have I been b-a-d
Please daddy please won't you stay
'Cause 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 didn't see
Till he opened my eyes and he spelled it out to me
Hey d-a-d-d-y, I saw M-a-m-a cry
Say you're not going away
Is it because of me, have I been b-a-d
Please daddy please won't you stay
'Cause if you leave what will you do with M-E
Oohh oohh
Hey d-a-d-d-y, I saw M-a-m-a cry
Say you're not going away
Is it because of me, have I been b-a-d
Please daddy please won't you stay
'Cause if you leave what will you do with M-E
Oh daddy if you leave what will you do
With me
