You Better Sit Down Kids

Better sit down kids I'll tell you why, kids You might not understand, kids But give it a try, kids Now how should I put this I've got something to say You mother is staying But I'm going away No, we're not mad, kids It's hard to say why Your mother and I Don't see eye to eye Say your prayers before you go to bed Make sure you get yourself to school on time I know you'll do the things your mother asks She's gonna need you most to stay in line Keep in mind your mother's gonna need Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before No more fights over little things because I won't be here to stop them anymore I know you don't want this, neither do we But sometimes things happen That we can't foresee Now try to be calm, kids And don't look so sad Just cause I am leaving I'll still be your dad Just remember I love you And though I'm not here Just call if you need me And I'll always be near Better sit down kids I'll tell you why, kids You might not understand, kids But give it a try, kids Now how should I put this I've got something to say You mother is staying But I'm going away No, we're not mad, kids It's hard to say why Your mother and I Don't see eye to eye Well, I have to go now So kiss me goodbye My eyes are just red, kids I'm too big to cry
