"For The Kids" lyrics

For The Kids

Oh, you work
Like a slave
For the kids
And I'd go
To my grave
For the kids

But we watched
Our love fade
As we suffered
That state
With this bargain
We made
For the kids

Yes, divorce
Is a curse
For the kids
But this tention's
Much worse
For the kids

And they're now
Old enough
And they're made of
Strong stuff
Still it's gonna
Be rough
For the kids

Find a new love
You should
For the kids
And just make sure
She's good
For the kids

And though I'm
Out of sight
If she don't treat them right
I'll be back here
To fight
For the kids

These teardrops
That fall
For the kids
You know they're really
Not all
For the kids

But you don't
Really care
And the only love there
Is the love that
We shared
For the kids

Yes, I see
You don't care
And all we now share
All our hopes
And our prayers
For the kids
