I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when Ben
Doesn’t listen to advice
Goes his own way
And then in the end,
Does what I suggested anyway
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when Josh leave’s something at school
His jumper, his shirt, his shoes
Yesterday it was his P.E. kit
Today he lost a shoelace
Tomorrow will be something else.
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when Sam has a paddy
Stamping his feet
Banging the floor with his fists
And blames everyone,
Except himself
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when a constant stream
Of your friends ring the door bell
Seemingly endlessly
A dozen times in an afternoon
Every afternoon
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you misplace reading books
Or homework or letters from school
And I have to search
And I find them
Where I told you to look
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you don’t shut doors
Or cupboards
Or drawers
You don’t hang your coats up
Or put your slippers on
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you leave
Dirty sports kit in your schoolbag
And half a sandwich in your lunch box
When you want to go outside when it’s raining
And watch TV when it’s sunny
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you leave clothes on the floor
School bags in the hall
Coats on the sofa
Shoes on the stairs
Sock’s everywhere
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when I have to wake you up
Every school day morning
And you wake up at six am
On Saturday and Sunday
And you wake me up as well
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you won’t go to sleep at night
When you mess about and talk
Or when you bicker and fight
And when you’re told to stop
You say OK and carry on
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you leave lights on in every room
Or you leave the TV on
The computer and the PS2
And you’re all playing football
Outside with your friends
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when you have a bath or shower
And there’s more water on the floor
Than there is in the bath
And you leave wet towels on the floor
And the soap in the bath
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
Even when I shout at you
Its not that I don’t love you
But the Wisdom of Solomon
And the patience of Job
Sometimes just aren’t enough
I do love you kid’s
Honestly I do,
