When You Love Someone

Oh

Come home early after class

Don't be hanging 'round the back of the schoolyard

I've been called up by your teacher

She said she can't even reach you 'cause you're so far

You've been talking with your fists

We didn't raise you up like this, now did we?

There've been changes in this house

Things you don't know about in this family

It don't make sense, but nevertheless

You gotta believe us, it's all for the best

It don't make sense, the way things go

Son, you should know

Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love

Sometimes two homes are better than one

Some things you can't tell your sister, 'cause she's still too young

Yeah, you'll understand, when you love someone

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

There ain't no one here to blame

And nothing's going to change with your old friends

Your room will stay the same

'Cause you'll only be away on the weekends

It don't make sense, but nevertheless

You gotta believe us, it's all for the best

It don't make sense, it don't add up

But we'll always love you no matter what

Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love

Sometimes two homes are better than one

Some things you can't tell your sister, 'cause she's still too young

Yeah, you'll understand, when you love someone

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

When you love someone
