Lately I`ve been spending lots of time with my kid
Telling him stories bout the things that we did
When we were a family, long time ago
I`ve answered his questions till I`m blue in the face
Wish all that hurt in him, I could erase
But I tell him the truth, cause he ain`t too young to know
Single father, part-time mother
When I`m not one, then I`m the other
You used to be my full-time lover
Now I`m a single father, and a part-time mother
I spend every minute I can with my boy
There`s no doubt about it, he`s my pride and joy
Someday he`ll grow up and I won`t have him no more
Some things I just find too hard to explain
So we go to McDonald`s or I buy him a train
And we put it together on the living room floor
Such is the life of a single father
He says `daddy explain, if it`s not too much bother`
Why it`s just you and me, living here in this home
I don`t understand it, and neither does he
Why there`s just two, when there should be three
Of us sharing this moment, Lord I feel so lone
Single father, part-time mother
When I`m not one, then I`m the other
You used to be my full-time lover
Now I`m a single father, and a part-time mother
You used to be, my full-time lover
Now I`m a single father, and a part-time mother
Now I`m a single father, and a part-time mother
