Absence

He works very hard for the dollar
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
She hangs a yellow ribbon raising
Children with no father
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
He works very hard for the dollar
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
She hangs a yellow ribbon raising
Children with no father
Absence makes the heart grow somber

She tucks the kids in alone again tonight
After another day of down time
The school year makes a lonely house wife
She tries to tell her kids
That they're not second priority
Daddy's just busy
See him on the weekend hopefully
She needs more of her husband in the equation
Kids raised without proper elements
Shouldn't be done
She loved the man she married
With or without the white collar
Money for college and security
Doesn't replace a father
Growing up is very pleasant with presents
But a lack of love and
Attention soon leads to resentment
A seed needs the proper nourishment to grow
When he gets old
No visit's to the nursing home
The weekend came and daddy
Didn't catch the flight
The root of evil grew to be
The biggest factor in life
Comfort from a piece of paper
With a dollar sign
The root of evil grew to be
The biggest factor in life
He works very hard for the dollar
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
She hangs a yellow ribbon raising
Children with no father
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
He works very hard for the dollar
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
She hangs a yellow ribbon raising
Children with no father
Absence makes the heart grow somber

Worst case I work late
It's the third shift today
Pay check person payment further
Investments I make
It's rare when i'm home
More so when I'm happy
Cologne to mask the smell of sad
And guilt on my khakis
Find finance relaxing
Ambition built incentive
To fill my life with caffeine
Board rooms and taxis
Hotel, continental breakfast and bad sleep
Sad spouse and a well-furnished house
On a sad street
But money makes the world rotate
So I get home late
And no amount of peers could
Make me slow pace
I need to stack our nest egg
Our kids deserve the best babe
But little do I know the little
Ones brew the best hate
So when a workaholic manifest mad strife
The root of evil grew to be
The biggest factor in life
And a man can't depend on his feminine type
The root of evil grew to be
The biggest factor in life
He works very hard for the dollar
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
She hangs a yellow ribbon raising
Children with no father
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
He works very hard for the dollar
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
She hangs a yellow ribbon raising
Children with no father
Absence makes the heart grow somber
