Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round
the back of the schoolyard
I've been called up by a teacher
She says she can't even reach
you 'cause you're so far
You've been talking with your fist
We didn't raise you up like this
now did we
There have been changes
in this house
Things that 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
There ain't no one here to blame
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
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
When you love someone
Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round
the back of the schoolyard
And if we're crying on the couch
Don't let it freak you out
This has been so hard
Sometimes moms
and dads fall out of love
Sometimes the best intentions
just ain't enough
Some things
you can't tell your sister
'cause she's still too young
Yeah you'll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
