I'm going to right my first impressions without reading anyone else's meaning first.
I see it as a man who has possibly had an affair with a woman, and he is addressing the child that was born of it.
"That woman's on my back again.
I know she's got the best intention"
that's either the mother of the child or his other lover who is pressuring him to stick to someone or possibly to support the child
"When you began to relize
You know, got your daddy's eyes."
talking about how the child may eventually realise he takes after his father, the persona of the song
"And there's something I wanna say:
I love her too.
And all of this has got nothing to do with you.
And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been fooling around"
he loves the mother of the child, but he needs to take responsibility for his actions now and he can't support this child or the woman, and its not to do with the child, its to do with the persona and how hes acted. he wishes he could be with them but he can't
"And I know that you called because you never even knew that it was hurting me"
this sounds like the child has made contact with the persona and he doesn't realise how much the persona's been feeling guilty about not being there for this child, the child doesn't understand the implications at the moment
"Sometimes PEOPLE GET TIRED" [i believe is the correct lyrics]
And I woke up a little too late to lie"
he can't pretend this hasn't happened anymore, and he can't lie to the child and pretend it's all alright
he's weary of living a lie.
