She wakes up in the morning with the new sunrise
Looks at her husband sleeping still, inside she cries
She makes the children breakfast, gets them on their way
Watching them through the window, she prepares to face another day
Then her husband tells her that he won't be home till late
There's so much work, he'll have to stay behind
But she knows it isn't work that's on his mind
But still he'd never leave her - 'cos
Chorus:
What would the children think, where would the children go
What would the children do
If they knew the way it was, but they'll never learn because
What would the children think, where would the children go
At the gate she kisses him and watches him walk
Hoping this small charade will stop the neighbors' talk
She turns to hide a tear, inside her gilded cage
She cries for the love she could not hold, and lost to someone half her age
Then her pride and breaking heart tell her to run away
But she values what she's got a little more
Two kids, one nine and one nearly four, and she would never leave them, 'cos
chorus
What would the children think, where would the children go
What would the children do, where would the children go
(repeats out)
