Latley I’ve been spendin’ lots of time with my kid 
A 
Tellin’ him stories, about the things that we did 
     E                                  B7 
When we were a family, such a long time ago 
     E 
I’ve answered his questions, till I’m blue in the face 
        A 
There’s so many things, time can’t erase 
          E                  B7 
So I just tell him the truth 
                         E  
Cause he not to young to know. 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
A 
Such is the life, of a Single Father 
   E                        
He says tell me dad, if it’s not too much bother 
         B7                                   E 
Why it’s just you and me, living here in this home 
         A 
I said I know there just two, when there ought to be three of us 
E 
Sharing this moments 
                     B7 
You know son I guess sometimes at night 
           E 
I feel so alone. 
 
Chorus: 
       A 
Single Father 
              E 
And part time mother 
             B7 
When I’m not one 
             E 
Then I’m the other 
              A 
And I used to have 
            E 
A full time lover 
                 B7 
Now I’m a Single Father 
                E 
And a part time mother.

Lately I’ve been spendin’ lots of time with my boy 
        A                      
There’s no doubt about it, he’s my pride and joy 
        
        E                                            B7  
But someday he will grow up, and I won’t have him no more 
          E 
There was so many I found hard to explain 
          A 
So I just took him to McDonald’s, or bought him a little train 
          E              B7                   E 
And we go put it together, on the living room floor.
