  [Intro]
 
 What is gonna happen to us?
 
 Think about the children
 
 And all the things you promised me
  
 
 You say you wanna leave
 
 Without giving me a reason at all
 
 Boy, I don't understand
 
 What about all these plans we've made
 
 You vowed that you would stay
 
 Do you wanna be a man about it
 
 Can we talk about it
 
 Don't just leave
  
 
 1 - What about faithful
 
 (What about, what about faithful)
 
 And all those things you promised me
 
 What about the children
 
 (What about, what about the children)
 
 And how in love we used to be
  
 
 At night I lay awake
 
 Hoping you will take the time to call me 
 
 I hardly see your face
 
 We miss you night and day
 
 How could you just turn and walk away
 
 Do you wanna be a man about it
 
 Can we talk about it
 
 Don't just leave 
  
 
 Repeat 1
  
 
 What about the house, the cars
 
 The papers and the mortgage?
 
 (What about, what about)
 
 And our estate that we both own
 
 How could you dare break up our happy home
 
 (Oh boy, what about my)
 
 What about my life
 
 You made me your wife
 
 What is gonna happen to us?
  
 
 Repeat 1 until fade
