our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
so we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E but the words were hiding form him now tears the heart right out of me
(chours)
our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
me and little J-O-E we'll be going away
i love you both and this will be pure H-E double LL for me
oh i wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E

watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his 5 birthday
and he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
i'll spell out all the hurting words and turn my head when i speak
cause i can't spell the way this hurt that's driping down my cheek

(repeat chours)
