Why did you do it?
 

Why did you do it?

You don’t really care!

I brought him up

when you weren’t there.
 

Right from his birth

No love have you shown

My love is all

That he’s ever known.
 

Now YOU take him back,

You, a stranger unseen,

Waving court orders about

And making a scene.
 

Well listen, my friend

About you I don’t care

But your actions are hurting

The life that I share
 

With the grandson I love

And have treated as mine

So don’t smirk and tell me

that love to resign.
 

If you’d really cared

You’d ‘ve been there for the lad

But I brought him up

Through the good and the bad
 

So get out of lives,

Leave good well alone

Leave my darling with me

In our loving home.
