Jan Howard - You'd Better Sit Down Kids lyrics

You'd better sit down kids I'm telling you why

You might not understand kids but give it a try

Now how should I put this I've got something to say

I will be staying but daddy's going away

No we're not mad kids and it's hard to say why

Your daddy and I kids don't see eye to eye

Say your prayers before you go to bed help me get you off to school on time

I know you'll do the things I'll ask of you

I'm gonna need you more to stay in line

Keep in mind I'm gonna need your help a whole lot more than I ever did before

No more fightin' no more little things cause he won't be there to stop them anymore

I know you don't want this neither do we

But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee

Now try to become kids and don't look so sad

Just cause he is leaving he'll still be your dad

Just remember we love you and though he's not here

Just call if you'll need him he'll always be near

Say your prayers...

Well your dad has to go now so kiss him goodbye

Our eyes are just red kids we're too big to cry

You'd better sit down kids I'm telling you why

You might not understand kids but give it a try
