Single mother
Middle daughter
Blames her father
'Cause he never bothered
And you'd be hard pressed to find
Someone to tell her she's wrong
Single mother, just gotta move on
Absent father
Oh, never offers
Even a dollar
He doesn't seem to be bothered
By the fact that he's forfeit his rights
To his own now
Absent father, he's long gone
No, you better watch what you say
And oh, you better what what you do
'Cause you know every time
Oh that you tell a lie
Well you know, someone could be
Watching you, oh no
Their little eyes
They don't see the little lines
'Tween wrong and right
'Tween day and night
But you get 'em started stealing
And they'll grow up bitter and cold
Single mother, absent father
Broken home
