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 fifth birthday
And he thinks c u s t o d y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurt words
And turn my head when I speak
'cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks
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
