Verse 1: I remember being as young as you Really leaning on my father and mother I still don’t know how I’d feel, what I’d do If they split up and ended up with others So I don’t know how to explain why I’m here In you and your daddy’s lives Maybe I oughta start by making it clear That whatever you feel is all right Chorus: You can tell me you feel like you hate me You can tell me my being here hurts You can tell me I’d have to be crazy To think there’s any way this could work You can tell me you’re afraid Of what the coming days might bring But I hope in time you’ll understand You can tell me anything Verse 2: I can never be your mama I know And she’s still here for you too Your daddy and I love each other so And we both want what’s best for you You still come first in your daddy’s eyes And I know that’s the way it should be I hope it won’t take long until you realize I don’t have to be your enemy. (repeat chorus) (instrumental break) Bridge: I can’t compare my position to yours ‘Cause I’m not the one who didn’t get to choose But this is all something I’ve never done before. It’s pretty scary for me, too. (instrumental break) Partial end chorus: No, none of us can really know What the coming days might bring But I hope in time you’ll understand You can tell me anything
