[Intro]

What is gonna happen to us?

Think about the children

And all the things you promised me



You say you wanna leave

Without giving me a reason at all

Boy, I don't understand

What about all these plans we've made

You vowed that you would stay

Do you wanna be a man about it

Can we talk about it

Don't just leave



1 - What about faithful

(What about, what about faithful)

And all those things you promised me

What about the children

(What about, what about the children)

And how in love we used to be



At night I lay awake

Hoping you will take the time to call me 

I hardly see your face

We miss you night and day

How could you just turn and walk away

Do you wanna be a man about it

Can we talk about it

Don't just leave 



Repeat 1



What about the house, the cars

The papers and the mortgage?

(What about, what about)

And our estate that we both own

How could you dare break up our happy home

(Oh boy, what about my)

What about my life

You made me your wife

What is gonna happen to us?



Repeat 1 until fade
