Heart punctured by the arrow
Let go by His bow
Who was this Man
Why did He claim my heart

He dances around every question
Full of life and fancy words
Thinking to impress me with such
All I feel is a small crush

Things are fine for awhile
We dance, dine, and stay out to dawn
Then the inevitable happens
I love you is uttered

Instead of raw hungry passionate ***
It is now slow, romantic, making love
Turning in to dull, unimaginative passionless ***
What happened to that pure lust

Now we come home from work
Eat dinner and do chores
Watch T.V. or play video games
Intimacy is gone, not even a kiss anymore

Suddenly the *** is alive
Apparently only long enough to procreate
Now its back to seaparate parts of the bed
Please just help explain this dread

Body gets bigger as the baby grows
He gets hornier as he needs ***
Tries to touch me but I am a mess
Hormones are such a tease

I have rejected him so much
I didn't mean to at all
Yet He was seen with a blonde at the mall
I cry and cry as the birth draws near

Not wanting to be touched
Body just so out of whack
Men don't understand
Hormones are not just an excuse

I miss the days of reckless abandon
*** on the hammock, floor and dining room table
Wanting it everyday in everyway
Now look at Us

We keep separated sides of the bed
Not even a cuddle or nuzzle or word said
The birth of our child comes and goes
Still I have no desire anymore

I still love the One that pierced my heart
He is my friend
Whom I would not wish to part
What is this curse women face

It seems I am not the only one in this place
Wishing for a magic wand
To cure this lack of lustful urge
Most women after a baby are

So if You pull your bow
The arrow strikes home
Make sure you are ready
To ride through the storm real steady

It won't be fair
Life isn't you know
If You are lucky
You might get to see your wife glow
