What Kind Of Man

Two years to the day

Since you’ve seen your little boy

He’s stopped asking where you are

And when you’re coming home

Sometimes late at night

I can hear him cry

But does he really believe me

when I say it will be alright

What kind of man

What kind of man

What kind of man would not say goodbye

Would give up his only child

What kind of man

I can be a good mother

If I have to be papa too

But there are some things

Even mama can’t do

Who’ll teach him to do right

In everything he can

Who’s going to show that little boy

How to grow up to be a good man

A good man

Ooohh a good man

The kind of man to do right

And not walk away from his only child

That kind of man

One day when he’s older

You just might realize

Everything you missed

And you wasted all this time

Don’t expect that smiling child

Who used to look up to you

Don’t be surprised if that young man

Wants nothing to do with you

What kind of man

What kind of man

What kind of man would not say goodbye

Turn his back on his only child

What kind of Man
