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

(CHORUS)
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

(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Oh daddy,if you leave what will you do
With me?
