It's getting late, I missed your call
I haven't heard from you at all
For all that shit I put you through
Here's my heartfelt thanks to you

Through all that's good and bad
You're the best thing I ever had, IOU

Sweetheart, mother to my girls
Your softest touch cures all my ills
When I got down you came through
Here's my lifelong gratitude

Through all that's good and bad
You're the best thing I ever had
In those times when I might dwell
You're there to catch me when I fail, IOU

In the end of days when the lights will fade
I will hold you
I am here to lift away your fear
I will owe you

Through all that's good and bad
You're the best thing I ever had
In those times when I might dwell
You're there to catch me when I fail, IOU, IOU, IOU
