You'd Better Sit Down Kids Songtext
von Sonny & Cher

You′d 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
It′s hard to say why
Your mother and I 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 most to 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
Because I won′t be here to stop them anymore

I know you don't want this, 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 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 most to 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
Because I won't be here to stop them anymore

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