E A B7
L E ately I've been spendin' lots of time
with my kid
T A ellin' him stories
About the things that we did
W E hen we were a family
Long time a B7 go
I E 've answered his questions
Till I'm blue in the face
W A ish all the hurt in him
I could erase
B E ut I tell him the truth B7
'Cause he ain't too young to k E now
Single f A ather
Part time m E other
When I'm not B7 one
Then I'm the o E ther
You used to A be
My full time l E over
Now I'm a single f B7 ather
And part time E mother
I E spend every minute
I can with my boy
T A here's no doubt about it
He's my pride and joy
S E omeday he'll grow up
And I won't have him no B7 more
S E ome things I just find
Too hard to explain
S A o we go to McDonalds
Or I buy him a train
A E nd we put it together B7
On the living room E floor
S A uch is the life
Of a single father
H E e says daddy explain
If it's not too much bother
While it's B7 just you and me
Living here in this E home
I A don't understand it
And either does he
W E hy there's just two
When there should be three of us
S B7 haring this moment
Lord I feel so a E lone
Single f A ather
Part time m E other
When I'm not B7 one
Then I'm the o E ther
You used to A be
My full time l E over
Now I'm a single f B7 ather
And part time E mother
