you better sit down kids

Lyrics

you better sit down, kids, i'm telling you why, kids, you might not understand, kids, just give it a try, kids, now how should i put this, i've got something to say, you mother is staying, but i'm going away, no, we're not mad, kids, and it's hard to say why, your mother and i, kids, don't see eye to eye, say your prayers before you go to bed, make sure you get yourself to school on time, i know you'll do the things your mother asks, she's gonna need you more to stay in line, keep in mind your mother's gonna need, your help a whole lot more than she ever did before, no more fighting over little things because, i won't be here to stop them anymore, i know you don't want this, neither do we, but sometimes things happen, that we can't foresee, now try to be calm, kids, and don't look so sad, just 'cause i am leaving, i'll still be your dad, just remember i love you, and though i'm not here, just call if you need me, i'll always be near, say your prayers before you go to bed, make sure you get yourself to school on time, i know you'll do the things your mother asks, she's gonna need you more to stay in line, keep in mind your mother's gonna need, your help a whole lot more than she ever did before, no more fighting over little things cause, i won't be here to stop them anymore, well, i have to go now, so kiss me goodbye, my eyes are just red, kids, i'm too big to cry, you better sit down, kids, i'm telling you why, you might not understand, kids, but give it a try, you better sit down, kids, i'm telling you why, you might not understand
