Lately I′ve been spending lots of time with my kid
Telling him stories of the things that we did
When we were a family a long time ago
I've answered his questions ′til I'm blue in the face
Wish all the hurt in him I could erase
But I tell him the truth 'cause he ain′t too young to know
A single father, part-time mother
When I′m not one, then I'm the other
You used to be my full-time lover
Now I′m a single father and a part-time mother
I spend every minute I can with my boy
There's no doubt about it, he′s my pride and joy
Someday he'll grow up and I won′t have him no more
Some things I just find too hard to explain
So we go to McDonald's or I buy him a train
And we put it together on the living room floor
Such is the life of a single father
He says, "Daddy, explain, if it's not too much bother
Why it′s just you and me living here in this home"
I don′t understand it and neither does he
Why there's just two when there should be three of us
Sharing this moment and Lord, I feel so alone
A single father, part-time mother
When I′m not one, then I'm the other
You used to be my full-time lover
Now I′m a single father and a part-time mother
You used to be my full-time lover
Now I'm a single father and a part-time mother
Now I′m a single father and a part-time mother
