I go home to a family that needs me 
And I sit there with you on my mind 
I keep thinking of some way to tell them 
That someday I'll have to leave them behind 

But how do you talk to a baby? 
What words will a child understand? 
If I could just walk off and leave them 
Tell me dear, could you love that kind of man? 

Yes, I guess that it's best you forget me 
Maybe time will erase all the pain 
And I thought it over it's not worth it 
Maybe someday, dear, you'll learn and understand 

Ohh, how do you talk to a baby? 
What words would a child understand? 
If I could just walk off and leave them 
Tell me dear, could you love that kind of man?
