So we spell out the words we don't want him to under-stand

Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R P-R-I-S-E

But the words we're hiding from him now
G C
Tear the heart right out of me.
C C7 F G7 C
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final to-day

Me and little J-O-E will be goin' a-way

I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me

Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas

That's drippin' down my cheek.
