  • It's a sad affair
    When there's no one there
    He calls out in the night
    And it's so unfair
    At least it seems that way
    When you gave him his life

    And all this time he's been getting you down
    You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
    And convince him
    Just talk to him
    'cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
    He's an only child in an only room
    And he's dependent on you
    Oh he's dependent on you

    And it seems so strange
    That at the end of the day
    Making love can be so good
    But the Pain of birth
    What is it worth
    When it don't turn out the way it should

    And all this time he's been getting you down
    You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
    And convince him
    Just talk to him
    'cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
    He's an only child in an only room
    And he's dependent on you
    Oh, he's dependent on you

    la la la la la la la, la la la la la
    la la la la la la la, la la la la la
    la la la la la la la, la la la la la
    la la la la la la la, la la la la la

    Suffer, suffer the children
    Suffer, suffer the children
    Suffer, suffer the children
    Suffer, suffer the children
    Suffer, suffer the children
    Suffer, suffer the children
    Suffer, suffer the children Writer/s: ROLAND ORZABAL
