Just cause I am leaving, I'll still be your dad
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
But sometimes things happen that we can't foresee
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
Just remember I love you and though I'm not here
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
No, we're not mad, kids and it's hard to say why
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
Now try to be calm, kids and don't look so sad
'Cause I won't be here to stop 'em anymore
She's gonna need you more so stay in line
Say your prayers before you go to bed
No more fights over little things
A whole lot more than she ever did before
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you don't want this and neither do we
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
'Cause I won't be here to stop 'em anymore
Say your prayers before you go to bed
A whole lot more than she ever did before
Well, I have to go now, so kiss me goodbye
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
Just call if you need me and I'll always be near
Your mother and I, kids, don't see eye to eye
She's gonna need you more so stay in line
Your mother is staying but I'm going away
No more fights over little things
