It sure gets quiet when the kids go to bed We sit here in the silence Putting of what must be said I read a book you watch TV As our love dies quietly I'm so sad I don't know what I just read Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids And they need me Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We keep hoping some how we might need each other again You say good night and turn and face the wall We lay here in the darkness And the tears start to fall If it was only you and me Good-bye might come more easily What about those babies down the hall Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids And they need me Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We keep hoping some how we might need each other again Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We just keep hoping we might need each other again
