(Hook 2x):
TO GIVE LOVE AND TO GET LOVE BACK,
But just be careful with this thing called love or you could pay for it,
WHEN THINGS SUCK, MANY GIVE UP FAST,
I know it’s tough, but try to think before you jump in a relationship…
Verse 1:
Until death do us part, will I make your parents proud?
We never thought about it before takin’ marriage vows,
It’s inevitable that we’ll trip on what we was,
That’s what the money does while addicted to puppy love,
But beyond that initial contact is life,
‘Cause a man and wife requires long sacrifice,
But the pride issue, turns like the wheels of bicycles,
I’m riddled how you hurt me when feelin’ that I miss you,
Sparks gone, the lovey dovey mood has sobered,
Start actin’ colder when the honeymoon is over,
We went from joy to having ulcers that grow,
It used to be so wonderful when vulnerable,
The voices ask “Does your wife love you?”
But on the OTHer hand, the single life sucks too,
So I bow and PRAY to God to bless us in heart,
‘Cause I’m DOWN to stay until death do us part…

Verse 2:
Some days I love you, on other days I hate you,
I get temptation, remainin’ stayin’ faithful,
I’m prayin’ I can take bull, impatient and unable to face you,
We gotta wait and think of many ways to stay true,
If I say I’m perfect, then I’m trippin’ and I’m on one,
So mad respect to those committed in the long run,
I’m stiffened when I want some, but listen to the calm ones,
I got this covered like I’m hittin’ it with condoms,
What is it that you want hun? To purchase a place?
See all I really need would be my PERsonal space,
To get a divorce because the greens cease comin’,
That’s basically sayin’ that love in marriage means nothin’,
Provide the tulips? If I had ‘em, I would do it,
But no one likes a person who would act entitled to it,
So I’ma write the music that all can understand,
I don’t shuffle my feet because I’m not a runnin’ man…
(Back to hook)
Verse 3:
This goes out to those who swallow their pride,
Who have a lot of pain, but keep it balled up inside,
To all the married couples contemplatin’ divorce,
To those who pay the lawyers just to TAKE ‘em to court,
To those who try to smile when it’s gettin’ wild and ug-a-ly,
From couples that cuddle then struggle for their CHILD’S custody,
To newlyweds thinkin’ he or she’s lovable,
To those who think, I should’ve SIGNED a pre-nuptial,
To ALL the girls who wanna punch his lights out,
To the man who holds his tongue and doesn’t cuss his wife out,
To those who fight daily while their son plays,
To all the parents tellin’ kids “YOU’LL understand one day”,
Married life is hard, too often sittin’ there sore,
I feel the married couples ‘cause I been there before,
Ladies, treat your men right, men be good to wives too,
I advise you to think before you tell ‘em “I DO”…
