[Verse 1]
It's a sad affair
When there's no one there
He calls out in the night
[Verse 2]
And it's so unfair
At least it seems that way
When you gave him his life
[Chorus]
And all this time he's been getting you down
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
And convince him, oh just talk to him
'Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
'Cause he's an only child in an only room
And he's dependent on you
He's dependent on you
[Verse 3]
And it seems so strange
At the end of the day
Making love can be so good
[Verse 4]
But the pain of birth
Oh, what is it worth?
When things don't turn out right, they should
[Chorus]
And all this time he's been getting you down
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
And convince him, oh just talk to him
'Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
'Cause he's an only child in an only room
And he's dependent on you
He's dependent on you
[Outro]
Suffer
Suffer the children
Suffer
Suffer the children
Suffer
Suffer the children
