Lyrics

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
