Verse 1
Woke up this morning,
there where tears in you eyes
all last night we argued
it wasn't any surprise
Sleeping in the bathroom
screaming in the halls
where so busy fighting (that)
we don't see those kids at all
Chorus
For the kids,
. . why can't we give it one more go
for our kids,
. . we might cheat and steal and lie
For our kids,
. . why can't we give it one more go
There our kids,
. . and fighting all they know...
Verse 2
Grew up in a small house
you could hear every word
mum and dad where fighting every night
when I got older I wouldn't be the same
now I'm standing here screaming and
I could nearly die
swore I wouldn't be like them
now I'm turning out the same
Chorus
For the kids,
. . why can't we give it one more go
for our kids,
. . we might cheat and steal and lie
For our kids,
. . why can't we give it one more go
There our kids,
. . and fighting all they know...
Bridge
Chorus
For the kids,
. . why can't we give it one more go
for our kids,
. . we might cheat and steal and lie
For our kids,
. . why can't we give it one more go
There our kids,
. . and fighting all they know...
