It takes two to tango, or so the saying goes.

It takes two to make a baby, but then the other one just ups and goes.

It was the two that I said I love you but only one held true

It was the two that said I’d die for you but only one is pushing through.

What is wrong with this picture, why is it this way?

Why is a man allowed to plant his seed and then just slowly walk away?

Why does the woman carry the burden, as blessed as it maybe,

Yet the man just walks away as free as he can be?

It’s not fair and I will protest it night and day

It’s not fair that a man can live any ole way.

I possess a love, a love so strong to make me stay

A love that keeps me going through the struggles I face day to day.

Why doesn’t he love her? Why doesn’t he care?

Why am I the one raising “our” daughter when he’s just out there?  

If it takes two to tango, as the saying goes,

Then why am I left raising “our” daughter on my own?
