It's Simply Now a Matter of When

(It’s Simply Now) A Matter of When Verse: I’m phoning up a lawyer, I can’t take this anymore the whiskey and the women keep pouring out the door You’re staying out ‘til sunrise, then sleeping in till noon so you can do your baying by the light of the moon. Chorus: This can’t go on forever so I’m through debating whether Now it’s no longer if! It’s simply now a matter of when. Verse: I’d wish you’d turbocharge my bed the way you do your car Peeling out the driveway, leaving tread marks on the tar spend the Sabbath watching every pigskin taking flight If I speak or interrupt you, then I’m picking one more fight. Chorus: This can’t go on forever so I’m through debating whether so it’s no longer if! It’s simply now a matter of when. Break: Forgive me Lord for thinking what I know to be a sin Yet every single day you see the predicament I’m in Verse: I can’t endure your buddy who shows up here like a slob to lubricate your liver while I’m dressing for my job You don’t really need a wife, but you sure could use a keeper I’m pretty sure that pretty soon you’re meeting with the reaper Chorus: This can’t go on forever so I’m through debating whether so it’s no longer if! It’s simply now a matter of when. Break 2: But this man has really driven me right over the edge Should I end him with a pillow or a twenty pound sledge? Verse: When you think I’m sleeping and you whisper on the phone Another night is coming when you’ll leave me all alone Last night, another hussy, just 21 and married twice You’ve handing out the sugar while you’re sparing me the spice. Chorus: This can’t go on forever so I’m through debating whether so it’s no longer if! It’s simply now a matter of when. (Spoken): MAYBE I’LL DO IT TONIGHT! Finis
