Somebody Should Leave

It sure gets quiet

When the kids go to bed

We sit here inthe silence

Putting off what must be said

I read a book you watch T.V.

As our love dies quietly

I'm so sad I don't know what I've just read

Somebody should leave

But which one should it be

You need the kids

And they need me

Somebody should leave

But we hate to give in

We keep hopin' somehow

We might need each other again

You say goodnight

And turn to face the wall

We lie here in the darkness

And the tears start to fall

If it was only you and me

Goodbye might come more easily

But what about

Those babies down the hall

(2x)

Somebody should leave

But we hate to give in

So let's keep hopin' we might need each other again
