When Your Dad Left Your Mom

Paul Baribeau
When your dad left your mom
And you moved into the condo
We stayed there while he was gone
We stayed up late watching cable
And we swam in the pool
We ate all his food
Yeah we had so much fun
When your dad left your mom
When your dad left your mom
She had to sell the house
We stayed up all night long
helping her move everything out
In your empty bedroom upstairs
You kissed me like you didn't care
Hey what else could possibly go wrong?
When your dad left your mom
When your dad left your mom
Your little brother stayed with us
We helped him get his homework done
We got him up and ready for the bus
It was just for a few days
While your mom moved into the new place
And did what had to get done
When your dad left your mom
When your dad left your mom
You'd get so quiet sometimes
You'd say that nothing was wrong
Like I couldn't see it in your eyes
But every once in a while
I could still get you to smile
And I wrote you this stupid song
When your dad left your mom
