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

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E

becomes final today

me and little J-O-E

will be goin' 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

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

'Cause I can't

spell away this hurt

that's drippin'

down my cheek

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E

becomes final today

me and little J-O-E

will be goin' 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...
