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

oh Donna, I was singing these lyrics right along with that famous tune the whole time. LOVE It. (the answer is not to do half that stuff, just let it sit and don't bother with all that slavery. hahaha) I get where you are coming from. Joe does not do a single household chore, and yet both of us work outside the home. (just glad I work fewer hours than he does or NOTHING would get done around here)
