When a man and woman get married A new language will unfold The man knows not to question why Just do what he is told She never has to say a word Men will see it in that glare It's the look that men never speak about The "You better not do that" stare You know the one I speaking of Like when a woman on the street passes by And if she catches you sneaking a peek You'll get that evil eye Or when you say something stupid And your wife starts shaking her head You know the look I'm talking about That one that says, "You're dead" Or when you're at her mother's You better not say a word You know her eyes are watching you Even though she's never heard It doesn't need any definition Cause men know what it means It's the look than causes your heart to stop And can even rupture their spleens So when you learn this language Your words will surely die The look she'll give will be enough To even make a grown man cry

The Look
When a man and woman get married A new language will unfold The man knows not to question why Just do what he is told She never has to say a word Men will see it in that glare It's the look that men never speak about The "You better not do that" stare You know the one I speaking of Like when a woman on the street passes by And if she catches you sneaking a peek You'll get that evil eye Or when you say something stupid And your wife starts shaking her head You know the look I'm talking about That one that says, "You're dead" Or when you're at her mother's You better not say a word You know her eyes are watching you Even though she's never heard It doesn't need any definition Cause men know what it means It's the look than causes your heart to stop And can even rupture their spleens So when you learn this language Your words will surely die The look she'll give will be enough To even make a grown man cry
