(Beverly J. Carlton, James L. Benton)



I fed the children

And I kissed them goodnight

You fed the jukebox

Till they turn out the lights

I bought the bacon

While you bought the booze

I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose



Needing new clothes with the money you spent

On barbills and motels and women you met

But I stood the heartache that you put me through

I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose



I gave up so much

And now I'm giving up you

It's too late to make up for

The love that you used



I've had enough

I don't want you around

Don't look at me

Like I let you down

You say I'm to blame

But who's fooling who

I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose

Yeah I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
