Somebody Should Leave

(harlan howard, chick rains)

It sure gets quiet

When the kids go to bed

We sit here in the silence

Putting off what must be said

I read a book you watch tv

As our love dies quietly

I'm so sad i don't know what i just read

Chorus:

Somebody should leave

But which one should it be

You need the kids and they need me

Somebody should leave

But we hate to give in

We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again

You say goodnight and turn and face the wall

We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall

If it was only you and me goodbye might come more easily

But what about those babies down the hall

Repeat chorus x2
