My friend stanley he’s got so much to say
The last time i went over there she’d took all his money and took all his children away
He broke down in a pool of tears and threw his hope away
Wake up around midnight in the freezing weather
Wake up around midnight with the children gone
He said “if i’m gonna stay alive i gotta keep myself together, i got lawyers on the phone took everything i own retaining what i got to say”
Stanley got dragged through a courtroom brawl
They said “your guilty as charged, you left home and left your children in a bad way”
He said ” i didn’t leave my children i left a very disappointed woman, disappointed every day, disappointed with all the flowers i gave her”
Wake up around midnight with a change of weather
Wake up around midnight he can see it all
I got the kids on the phone i gotta keep my mind together
And then my dad said ” don’t give up and don’t stop trying, time is a healer and it’s on your side”
And then the kids said “go dad”
I’m trying, i’m trying, i’m trying
Don’t stop trying
And then the kids said “go dad”
Oh yeah, don’t stop trying
I’m trying, i’m trying, i can’t stop crying, can’t stop trying
And then the kids said “go dad”
I’m trying, i’m trying, i can’t stop crying
You know i won’t give up
Trying, trying, i can’t stop crying
You know i won’t give up
