Single mother Middle daughter Blames her father 'Cause he never bothered And you'd be hard pressed to find Someone to tell her she's wrong Single mother, just gotta move on
Absent father Oh, never offers Even a dollar He doesn't seem to be bothered By the fact that he's forfeit his rights To his own now Absent father, he's long gone
No, you better watch what you say And oh, you better what what you do 'Cause you know every time Oh that you tell a lie Well you know, someone could be Watching you, oh no
Their little eyes They don't see the little lines 'Tween wrong and right 'Tween day and night But you get 'em started stealing And they'll grow up bitter and cold Single mother, absent father Broken home
