Lyrics:

Lately I've been spending lots of time with my kid
Telling him stories about the things that we did
When we were a family such a long time ago

I've answered his questions until I'm blue in the face
There's so many things that time can't erase
So I just tell him the truth
Because he's not too young to know
Such is the life of a single father
He says, "Tell me dad if it's not too much bother
Why it's just you and me living here in this home"
I say, "I know there's just two
When there ought to be three of us
Sharing these moments, you know son
I guess sometimes at night I do feel alone"
Single father, part time mother
When I'm not one, then I'm the other
I used to have a full time lover
Now I'm a single father and a part time mother
Lately I've been spending lots of time with my boy
There's no doubt about it, he's my pride and joy
But someday he'll grow up and I won't have him no more
There were so many things I found hard to explain
So I just took him to McDonald's or I bought him a little train
And we put it together on our living room floor
Such is the life of a single father
He says, "Tell me dad if it's not too much bother
Why it's just you and me living here in this home"
I say, "I know there's just two
When there ought to be three of us
Sharing these moments, you know son
I guess sometimes at night I do feel alone"
Single father, part time mother
When I'm not one, then I'm the other
I used to have a full time lover
Now I'm a single father and a part time mother
