"Lately I've been spendin lots of time with my kid

Tellin him stories

About the things that we did

When we were a family

Long time ago

I've answerd 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 aint to young to know



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



I spend every minute

I can with my boy

Theres no doubt about it

He's my pride and joy

Someday he will grow up

And I wont have him no more

Some things I just find

Too hard to explain

So we go to Mcdonalds

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 dont understand it

And neither does he

Why theres just two

When there should be three of us

Sharing this moment

Lord I feel so alone



[repeat chorus]"
