So now it's over, and you're free You've left your little boy and me You say you're tired of staying home And you can make it on your own I thought this family was your life You're a new woman, not a wife And now you're chasin' a new dream Found in a Cosmo magazine That little guy and I will find our way We never really knew you anyway And when he wants to know the when the where the why and how The mama who should be at home is gone I'll tell him just forget it son I spent a lifetime lovin' you Or was it just a year or two The girl I thought had clipped her wings Lived only in my boyish dreams Someday they'll say your son looks just like you But you'll never know if what they say is true And when he wants to know the when the where the why and how The mama who should be at home is gone I'll tell him just forget it son And when he wants to know the when the where the why and how The mama who should be at home is gone I'll tell him just forget it son It's just the times, not what we've done
