We do it for the children down the hall
Neither one of us could stand to see them cry
We do it for your mom and dad
There’s more hearts to think about than yours and mine

Staying together is what we’re supposed to do
We both know better when it comes to me and you
There ain’t nothing sadder there ain’t nothing colder
Staying together don’t mean it ain’t over

People say that we’re the perfect pair
They ain’t seen us sleeping in our separate beds
We still talk like there ain’t nothing wrong
But now love’s the only word that’s never said
