Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says, the kids are fine and they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometimeShe says, "Are you okay?
I was worried about you
Can you forgive me?
I hope that you'll be happy"I said, "I'm so happy that I can't stop cryin'
I'm so happy, I'm laughin' through my tears"I saw a friend of mine, he said
"I was worried about you
I heard she had another man
I wondered how you felt about it"I'm so happy that I can't stop cryin'
I'm so happy, I'm laughin' through my tearsSaw my lawyer, Mr. Good News
He got me joint custody and legal separation
So I'm so happy that I can't stop cryin'
I'm laughin' through my tears, laughin' through my tearsI took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try to find an answer in my lifeI chose a star for me, I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Somethin' made me smile, somethin' seemed to ease the pain
Somethin' about the universe and how it's all connectedThe park is full of Sunday fathers and melted ice cream
We try to do the best, within the given time
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that
What can a father do, but baby-sit sometimes?I saw that friend of mine, he said
"You look different somehow"
I said, "Everybody's got to
Leave the darkness sometime"And I said, "I'm so happy that I can't stop cryin'
I'm laughin' through my tears, I'm laughin' through my tears
I'm so happy that I can't stop cryin', I'm laughin' through my tears"
