I walked through the door, baby 
I see you're doin' the same old thing 
Ya got the nerve to ask the children 
Ask the children to pour you a drink 
I began to wonder 
Do you ever stop and think? 

Baby, please don't make me ask 
If I can see you drownin' 
In the bottom of that glass 
I tried so many times to tell you 
But my plea has been in vain 
It's not easy for the children 
Your whole family feels the pain 

Look at me, baby 
Look deeply, look deeply in my eyes 
See the tears runnin' down my face? 
I know it's hard for you to realize 
That's when it's all said and done 
You're gonna still keep on drinkin' 
The children will only remember 
'Bout the hole they dug in the ground.
