(Beverly J. Carlton, James L. Benton) I fed the children And I kissed them goodnight You fed the jukebox Till they turn out the lights I bought the bacon While you bought the booze I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose Needing new clothes with the money you spent On barbills and motels and women you met But I stood the heartache that you put me through I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose I gave up so much And now I'm giving up you It's too late to make up for The love that you used I've had enough I don't want you around Don't look at me Like I let you down You say I'm to blame But who's fooling who I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose Yeah I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
