When I Say Wife |
When I say «wife» |
It’s 'cause I can’t find another word |
For the way we be |
But «wife» sounds like your mortgage, hm |
«Wife» sounds like laundry |
When I say «wife» |
It’s 'cause I can’t find another word |
For the way we are |
But «wife» sounds like your mortgage |
And sounds like the family car |
Well, the tax form comes and I fill out «married» |
'Cause I know what they’re lookin' for |
But I’m tellin' you that I’m just a person |
Same as I was before |
When I say «wife» |
It’s 'cause if you said «lover» every day |
You’re gonna begin to gag |
But wife sounds like your mortgage |
Sounds like the laundry bag |
Well, the tax form comes, fill out «married» |
A technicality |
But I’m tellin' you that I’m not married |
I’m not single, I’m still me |
I say «wife» |
Because it stops all talk right away |
About the way we be |
But «wife» sounds like your mortgage |
And «wife» sounds like laundry |
