I won't make you promises, I won't tell you lies, Most of the time One of us cries. One cries for love, One cries for food, One cries because They're in a bad mood. If yelling and screaming Are all that they know Then what does that say? What does it show? He says that I yell Because of the smell He says that I yell Because of the bell. A bell that was rung To signal the time A bell that was rung To help make this rhyme. If time heals all wounds Then sing me a tune So I can forget The day that we met. Memories are priceless So take my advice, Spend time with the kids Before that time is none. They already hate me Because of the rules, What y'all don't realize Is they're useful tools. Who will do his chores? When he walks out the door? Who will cook his food When he's in a bad mood? No one will be there To say take a bath No one will be there To submit to his wrath. So learn to help now So you will know how Wipe the sweat off your brow And go milk the cow.
