"Mommy the schoolroom breaks my heart
Arithmetic reminds me that
Subtraction starts me breaking up
'cause him from us leaves too
And with our home divided now,
"Don't make me go to school no
more and cry through every test
I'm so ashamed when children
see the teardrops on my desk"
Imagine how you'd feel to hear
your child say this to you:
"Don't make me go to school no more and make
"It's hard to see my lessons,
the blackboard's one big tear
And when I turn wet papers in,
So please may I be absent mom,
I'd rather fail than face the class,
they know my daddy's gone"
"Don't make me go to school no
more and cry through every test
I'm so ashamed when children see
the teardrops on my desk"
Imagine how you'd feel to hear
your child say this to you:
"Don't make me go to school no
more and make the fifth grade blue"
