Squeeze Lyrics - Can of worms Lyrics

(difford/tilbrook)

 She was married and then divorced
Things seemed to happen that way
The children were confused, sometimes they'd fight
Sitting in their toys and games
To them she's mother and I am their friend
Who sits with them on his lap
And sleeps on the sofa on alternate weekends
No substitute for their dad
Shes a very good mum
As she tries to explain
Everything that she can
But a childs mind is sharp
They imagine the worst
Sometimes cant understand
That theres so much to learn
When you open a can of worms
