Think about the children



l know you don't love me anymore
but before you begin to walk away
think about it
think about the love
think about the promises
think about all the things
that we make before

think about the children
l don't trust the man that will merry you
maybe he won't be able to support them
don't trust the woman that I will merry
maybe she won't take care of them

what will they think? , what will they say?
will they die?,  will they survive?
we kill their future
will they hate me or you
l will put the blame on me
for loving a wrong song
oh son your daddy loves you so much

now for the sake of our children can you stay with me , till to hey grow up just for the sake of our children
