D-I-V-O-R-C-E Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Our little boy is four years old and is quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don′t want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me


Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin′ away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Watch him smile, he thinks it's Christmas
Or his 5th Birthday and he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words and turn my head when I speak
′Cause I can′t spell away this hurt that's drippin′ down my cheek

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E
