[Verse 1]
Friday comes around
Hair up, shoes on
She checks the mirror twice
Then she’s out the door
Lunches in the fridge
Tiny socks by the chair
Little voices in the hall
And Daddy’s standing there
He buckles every seat
He knows the bedtime song
He’s got the bedtime eyes
But the patience stays strong
[Pre-Chorus]
I love my kids, but
I need a little air
One night with my girls
And I’ll be right back there
[Chorus]
Mom needs a break
Dad got this, dad got this
Mom needs a break
He’s got the kids, he’s got this
I love my kids
But I need to recharge
One night out
And I come back strong
[Verse 2]
He’s making peanut toast
And a lopsided grin
There’s cereal on the floor
And a superhero win
He’s chasing little feet
Through the living room light
They’re laughing way too loud
And everything feels right
My phone stays in my bag
I’m dancing with my girls
No guilt in my step
I’m just spinning in the world
[Pre-Chorus]
I love my kids, but
I need a little air
One night with my girls
And I’ll be right back there
[Chorus]
Mom needs a break
Dad got this, dad got this
Mom needs a break
He’s got the kids, he’s got this
I love my kids
But I need to recharge
One night out
And I come back strong
[Bridge]
He sends a little pic
Kids in matching hats
She laughs on the balcony
And she falls right back
A deep breath, a full heart
A little space to breathe
Then back to the noise
Where everybody needs me
[Chorus]
Mom needs a break
Dad got this, dad got this
Mom needs a break
He’s got the kids, he’s got this
I love my kids
But I need to recharge
One night out
And I come back strong
