the right thing
drinks after work, it's nothing at first
a little talk, a little breaking the ice
she brushes your hand, she says she understands
you talk about your life
and what's a few drinks
between friends
you find that it all depends
you end up in bed and as you're leaving she says
she knows about your wife

what is the right thing to do
you can't begin to pretend to love two
what is the right thing to do
you just turn and walk away

your son's asking why
dad's not home again tonight
mommy pats him and goes in the bathroom and cries
her eyes are still red
as she tucks him in bed
he asks if she's alright

what is the right thing to do
you can't begin to pretend to love two
what is the right thing to do
you just turn and walk away

then comes the day, you're miles away
you get the word on your five year old son
the tattered remains of a family strains
to somehow try to go on

what is the right thing to do
you can't begin to pretend to love two
what is the right thing to do
you just turn and walk away
you just turn and walk away
you just turn and walk away
you just turn and walk away
