The Answer Is Sought Everyday
How many meals must a woman cook
Before she's considered a woman
And how many kisses can go unreturned
Before she feels she no longer can
How many scrubbed pots and pans
Before a treat to a meal by her man
The answer my friend is sought everyday
Yes the answer is sought everyday
How many rugs can a woman vacuum
Before a compliment is at hand
How many toilets must sparkle in the bathroom
Before she begins to buckle & stand
How many collected dustpans full of sand
Before a warm hug reminds her she's grand
The answer my friend is sought everyday
Yes, the answer is sought everyday
How many ashtrays that smell like smoke
Must she empty before she begins to choke
How many floors will she mop without pay
Before she begins to notice & say "Hey"
How many times shall she support your dreams
Without reciprocation before she screams
The answer my friend is sought everyday
Yes, the answer is sought everyday
