Is it not strange, it seems so to me How much men change after matrimony When we went steady for every date He spent hours getting ready, always looked great There were always flowers, cards or a present He listened to me for hours, was never unpleasant. Always so cavalier, caring and kind Calming my every fear, easing my mind A love life so fantastic, every other night Though marriage seemed drastic it all seemed so right Yes I was his queen, the love of his life Which made him so keen to make me his wife. I eventually said Yes and we were wed I could not have guessed how he would wreck my head Where did it all go wrong, it’s a mystery We were not married that long, perhaps you could tell me. When did the Boys appear, I would love to know When they went out for a beer did he always have to go? He turned into a slob, an awful sight to see He spent more time in his job than he did with me. He always seemed so grumpy, I never heard him laugh When I talked to him I was jumpy, he often cut me in half Our love life got so boring, I thought it might improve It was only farting and snoring that made the earth move The weekends were a nightmare, he was stuck in to the telly It sickened me to see him there, all dishevelled and smelly Watching football and racing, though he could never pick a winner Leaving me to do the shopping, then serve him up his dinner Around the house he was useless, he never did a tap He always made his excuses, he talked some amount of crap He treated me like a maid, he had no respect for me And all the promises he made I remembered bitterly. He never seemed to think of me like he did before When he forgot our anniversary I could stay silent no more When the mood was right I tried my best to explain But all we did was fight, it was all in vain All the things he loved about me, he seemed now to detest I could not make him love me though I tried my level best So I walked out the door wondering if I was to blame But then I married twice more and each one was just the same.
