My sweet child was seen across town

With some stranger man

She had a smile on her face, looked out of place

Suitcase was in her hand Junior saw it happen

Why didn't I listen to you? Hey

Whoa, ohh, whoa

Could've had her back

Whoa, ohh, whoa

Now she's down the tracks with him I remember on the day she left me

That's one thing I'll never forget

In the apartment we owned, all she left was a phone

And a broken down TV set Junior saw it happen

Why didn't I listen to you? Hey

Whoa, ohh, whoa

Could've had her back

Whoa, na na na na na, whoa

Now she's down the tracks with him Didn't believe it when I first got word

But boy, I sure do now

I couldn't face it, my mind wouldn't take it

It didn't make sense somehow Because I thought you was happy with the way we lived

And the things that we used to do

Whoa, no no no, whoa

Had her back

Whoa, no no no no no no no, whoa

Now she's down the tracks with him
