Cher You Better Sit Down Kids Lyrics

You better sit down kids, I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids but give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
Your mother is staying but I'm going away

No, we're not mad, kids and it's hard to say why
Your mother and I, kids, don't see eye to eye

Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you more so stay in line

Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
A whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things
'Cause I won't be here to stop 'em anymore

I know you don't want this and neither do we But sometimes things happen that we can't foresee
Now try to be calm, kids and don't look so sad
Just cause I am leaving, I'll still be your dad

Just remember I love you and though I'm not here
Just call if you need me and I'll always be near

Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you more so stay in line

Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
A whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things
'Cause I won't be here to stop 'em anymore

Well, I have to go now, so kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids, I'm too big to cry
