D-I-V-O-R-C-E Lyrics by Arlene Harden

What Can I Say

1968

[Verse 1]
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 tear the heart right out of me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Watch him smile, he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I'll spell out all the hurtin' words and turn my head when I speak
Oh, but I can't spell away this hurt that's dripping down my cheek
[Chorus]
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and littlе J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be purе H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E
