Single Father

[Verse 1] Lately i have been spending lots of time with my kid Telling him stories About the things that we did When we were a family Long time ago I've answered his questions Till i'm blue in the face Wish all that hurt in him I could erase But i tell him the truth Cause he is not to young to know [Chorus] Single father Part time mother When i'm not one Then i'm the other You used to be My full time lover Now i'm a single father And a part time mother [Verse 2] I spend every minute I can with my boy There's no doubt about it Hes my pride and joy Someday he will grow up And i won't have him no more Some things i just find Too hard to explain So we go to McDonald's Or i buy him a train And we go put it together On the living room floor Such is the life Of a single father He says daddy explain If its not too much bother While its just you and me Living here in this home I don't understand it And neither does he Why there's just two When there should be three of us Sharing this moment Lord i feel so alone [Chorus]
