Our little boy is four years old

And quite a little man

So we spell out the words

We don't want him to understand

Like T O Y or maybe S U R P R I S E

But the words we're hiding from him now

Tear the heart right out of me

Our D I V O R C E becomes final today

Me and little J O E will be going away

I love you both

And this will be pure H E double L for me

Oh I wish that we could stop this D I V O R C E

Watch him smile

He thinks it's Christmas

Or his 5th Birthday

And he thinks C U S T O D Y spells fun or play

I spell out all the hurting words

And turn my head when I speak

'Cause I can't spell away this hurt

That's dripping down my cheek

Our D I V O R C E becomes final today

Me and little J O E will be going away

I love you both

And this will be pure H E double L for me

Oh I wish that we could stop this D I V O R C E
