Kids Say The Darndest Things

Kids
Say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play
Or the little songs they sing?

Last night dressed up in high-heel shoes
And wearing my old hat
My four-year-old said
"I want a divorce"
Now where did she hear that?

Kids
Say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play
Or the little songs they sing?

Last night as I watched TV
One rushed through the door
"Mommy, daddy's telling someone on the phone
Don't you call me here no more"

Kids
Say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play
Or the little songs they sing?

"Bet my daddy can whip your daddy
But daddy's never home
And I think mommy's worried about him
Cause she cried all night long"

Kids
Say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play
Or the little songs they sing?

You never know what they learn at school
Or what they're thinking of
My first grader just said a four-letter word
And it sure wasn't "love"

Kids
Say the darndest things
Have you ever listened close to the games they play
Or the little songs they sing?

Kids
Say the darndest things
