"What Will You Tell Them" lyrics

"What Will You Tell Them"

Now, someday they'll wonder where Daddy can be
So what will you tell them when they ask about me?
Will you tell them I cheated and was so untrue?
Will you tell them I begged for forgiveness from you?

And then will you tell them how you turned me down
Because of a new love they don't know you found?
Oh, what will you tell them when they're old enough to see?
Will you say it's your fault or blame it on me?

Your name will be different and they'll wonder why
So how will you tell them or will you even try?
Oh, what will you tell them when they're old enough to see?
If you think you'll lose them, then blame it on me
