He always brings a smile to your face You won him over with your style and grace If only that bliss can last forever and always No one told you there will be trying days

A night of unbridled passion is pure ecstasy But you endure the pains of labor and delivery Doing your best to keep your family together In the role of wife, mom, cook, and counselor

Keeping that skin pretty, but it’s also thick Women flirting with your man like a cheap trick Work your muscles to keep that body tone Watching for who enters into his friend zone

He used to kiss your lips below and above Less kissing now, so who is he thinking of To teach him a lesson, you ride your bike Until further notice, your body is on strike

It’s personal, the children don’t need to know You smile and pretend, but it’s all for show There’s a thought that he may have cheated You remind him you are anything but stupid
