My little girl said mommy the school room breaks my heart
Arithmetic reminds me that you and dad`s apart
Subtraction starts me breaking up cause him from us leaves too
And with our home devided now I cry a lot in school
Don`t make me go to school no more and cry through every test
I`m so ashamed when children see the teardrops on my desk
Imagine how you feel to hear your child say this to you
Don`t make me go to school no more and make the fifth grade blue
[ steel ]
It`s hard to see my lessons the blackboard`s one big tear
And when I turn wet papers in Miss Dickens only stares
So please may I be absent mom like daddy is from home
I`d rather fail than face the class they know my daddy`s gone
Don`t make me go to school...
