Lyrics

Lately I've been spendin' lots of time with my kid
Tellin' him stories of the things that we did
When we were a family a long time ago
I've answerd his questions 'til I'm blue in the face
Wish all the 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
Theres no doubt about it, he's my pride and joy
Someday, he'll grow up and I wont have him no more
Some things I just find too hard to explain
So we go to Mcdonalds, 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 dont 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 alone
A 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
(You used to be)
My full-time lover
(Yeah, you used to be)
Now I'm a single father
(Yeah, you used to be)
And a part-time mother
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now I'm a single father
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And a part-time mother
