If

If he forgets my birthday I’ll never talk to him again Even though he’s always thoughtful And surprises me now and then Now I’m over thirty I wish I was still ten If he remembers my birthday I’ll never talk to him again I hope he brings me flowers And sings our old love song I’m sure it will never happen He’s always so damn wrong Now he brings me flowers And sings the same old song I don’t know why he does this He’s always so damn wrong If he plans our vacation I hope it’s something new I hate going to the same old place And doing what we always do There he goes again Planning something new Why not go to our same old place And do what we always do. A woman’s prerogative to change her mind Man has no choice but to lose his.

OOOHHH , Vince , you are a brave boy , but ooohhh , so true !!! . Like the Bride said to her friend " don't worry , I'll soon change him " . When they meet again 10 years later and she actually HAS changed him , her story is ; " he is not the man , I married " . Yup , Vincent , you got it in one , now stand back and wait for the atttaaaccckkk !!! ...
