Come home early after class
Don’t be hanging round the back
Of the schoolyard
I’ve been called up by your teacher
She says she can’t even reach you
'Cause you’re so far
You’ve been talking with your fists
We didn’t raise you up like this
Now, did we?
There’ve been changes in this house
Things you don’t know about
In this family
It don’t make sense
But nevertheless
You’ve got to believe us
It’s all for the best
It don’t make sense
The way things go
Son you should know
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Some things you can’t tell your sister
'Cause she’s still too young
Yeah you’ll understand
When you love someone
There ain’t no one here to blame
And nothing’s gonna change
With your old friends
Your room will stay the same
'Cause you’ll only be away
On the weekends
It don’t make sense
But nevertheless
You’ve got to believe us
It’s all for the best
It don’t make sense
It don’t add up
But we’ll always love you
No matter what
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Some things you can’t tell your sister
'Cause she’s still too young
Yeah you’ll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone
Come home early after class
Don’t be hanging round the back
Of the schoolyard
And if we’re crying on the couch
Don’t let it freak you out
It’s just been so hard
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes the best intentions
Just ain’t enough
Some things you can’t tell your sister
'Cause she’s still too young
Yeah you’ll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
