What Will You Tell Them
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now someday they'll wonder where daddy can be
So what will you tell them when they ask about me
Will you tell them i cheated and was so untrue
Will you tell them i begged for forgiveness from you
And then will you tell them how you turned me down
Because of a new love they don't know you found
Oh what will you tell them when they're old enough to see
Will you say it's your fault or blame it on me
Your name will be different and they'll wonder why
So how will you tell them or will you even try
Oh what will you tell them when they're old enough to see
If you think you'll lose them then blame it on me
