Lyrics
Behind the smile she holds back the tears of an aching heart
For the way she loves you now is the way she loved me once
But for the children we'd go our sep'rate ways
But for the children she'd stop pretending that she cares
Man to man let's sit right down and talk about it
Man to man let's work it out before it gets too late
She's confused she don't know which one to choose
For the children's sake she don't know which one to lose
Though it hurts to know that she wants someone else
I can't stop this feeling of love I have inside for her
If you really love her the way that she's in love with you
If you really love her as much as I do
Sometimes I look into her eyes and I wanna die
Although she's close to me she's so far away
Somewhere else with you
If you really love her the way that she's in love with you
If you really love her then you must love our children too
Man to man let's sit right down and talk about it
Man to man let's work it out before it gets too late
She's confused she don't know which one to choose
For the children's sake she don't know which one to lose
It's hard to know what went wrong
Why this love that we had has gone
But if you're just having fun leave her alone
For the children's sake don't break up a home
Man to man let's sit right down and talk about it
Man to man let's work it out before it gets too late
For the children, for the children, let's work it out
Man to man let's work it out before it gets too late
For the children, for the children's sake
