I'll Do What's Right

They said marriage would be like heaven
Until the day I died.
They said it was sweet
and couldn't be beat-
Well...
Somebody lied!

They said housework would be a pleasure
Any wife would do with pride-
With a smile on my face
and an apron of lace.
But hey-
somebody lied.

They said children would be a blessing
Forever innocent and wide-eyed
I've come a long way, baby-
But maybe
Somebody lied!

So someday when my children grow up
And are fearful of saying goodbye-
I'll hug them tight-
And I'll do what's right...

I'll lie!
