Lyrics
That Little Boy Does
(Donna Opfer/Seth Jackson)
I know It's over, but we still need to talk
It's about your little one
He's only five years old
He won't understand
'Cause even though he's not my son
He calls me Dad
I'm the father he never had
Let me be a part of his life
Even though there's no more us
You don't need me anymore
But that little boy does
Remember last week, that big thunderstorm
You saw how he ran to me
He loves when we wrestle or go fishing at the lake
Like a real family
We can't undo
When he tells me I love you
Let me be a part of his life
Even though there's no more us
You don't want me anymore
But that little boy does
I know this will be hard to do
But you'll do what's best for your son
I love that about you
Let me be a part of his life
Even though there's no more us
You don't love me anymore
But that little boy does
