(Beverly J. Carlton/James L. Benton)
I fed the children
And I kissed them goodnight

You fed the jukebox
Till they turn out the lights
I bought the bacon

While you bought the booze
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose


Needing new clothes with the money you spent
On barbills and motels and women you met
But I stood the heartache that you put me through

I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose

I gave up so much

And now I'm giving up you
It's too late to make up for
The love that you used


I've had enough
I don't want you around

Don't look at me
Like I let you down
You say I'm to blame

But who's fooling who
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
Yeah I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
