(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
