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
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 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
Then 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 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 E
