our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
so we spell out the words we don’t want him to understand
like toy or maybe sur prise
but the words we’re hiding from him now
tear the heart right out of me
our divorce becomes final today
me and little joe will be goin’ away
i love you both and this will be pure he double l for me
oh i wish that we could stop this divorce
watch him smile he thinks it christmas
or his 5th birthday
and he thinks custody spells fun or play
i spell out all the hurtin’ words
and turn my head when i speak
’cause i can’t spell away this hurt
that’s drippin’ down my cheek
our divorce becomes final today
me and little joe will be goin’ away
i love you both and this will be pure he double l for me
oh i wish that we could stop this divorce
