what you gonna do about me

you take the records

i'll take the stereo. you get the tv

and i'll take the radio. i'll keep the dishes

and you the pots and pans. you'll need a new car more than me

so i'll take the second hand. we'll each keep our own friends

divide the rest in two. the only kids seem to understand

still there's one thing left to do. it's over in the corner

our little one sits and cries. and behind that swell of tears she's asking with her eyes. what you gonna do about me

what you gonna do about me. is it daddy on the weekend

mama rest of the week. will i have to make new friends

live on a different street. who's gonna be the one who tucks me into sleep. oh what you gonna do

what you gonna do about me. i gave her a hug

she pushed me away. i said in time you'll understand

and maybe we both will someday. i wiped her tears

and said it won't be so bad."
