When there's no one around
And it seems so strange that at the end of the day
When there's no one around
When you gave him his life
You ought to pick him up
And he's dependant on you
Suffering, suffer the children
And all this time he's been getting you down
'Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
Making love can be so good
'Cause he's the only child in an only room
But the pain of birth, ooh, what is it worth
You ought to pick him up
And convince him, oh, just talk to him
'Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
'Cause he's the only child in an only room
Oh, he's dependant on you
When it don't turn out the way it should?
And convince him, oh, just talk to him
Oh, he's dependant on you
Suffering, suffer the children
And all this time he's been getting you down
At least it seems that way
Suffering, suffer the children
And he's dependant on you
