Our little boy
is four years old
and he's 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
tears 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 goin' 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
He thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y
spells fun or play
I spell out all
the hurtin' words
and I turn my head
when I speak
'Cause I can't spell
away this hurt
that's drippin' down
my cheek
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E
becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E
will be goin' 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
