Kids say the darndest things, 
          D                           D7 
have you ever listened close to the games they play, 
        G                 G7 
or the little songs they sing,

Last night dressed up in high-heeled shoes,  
    C    C7     A 
and wearing my old hat, 
    D                 D7 
my four year old said, I wanna divorce, 
      G                   G7 
Now, where did she hear that,

Last night as I watched TV,  
 C           C7         A 
one rushed through the door, 
 D                       D7 
Mommy, Dad`s telling someone on the phone, 
           G               G7 
Don`t you call me here no more,

If my daddy can whip your daddy,  
      C      C7     A 
but daddy`s never home, 
D                                        
and I think, mum is worried about him, 
       G                    G7 
cause she cried all night long,

You never know what they learn at school, 
     C              C7     A 
and what they`re thinking of, 
     D                       D7 
My first grader just said a four letter word, 
    G               G7 
and it sure wasn`t love,
