A Man Will Leave His Wife

a month two months
give me time
my children are small
my house is almost paid for
my wife is insane/feeble/suicidal
yes
alcoholic/addicted/vengeful

I can't afford a lawyer
she'll get the house
everything I worked for
can you wait
can you be alone on the holiday while I sit miserable with her
listening to blah blah blah to her ugly mother
she'll get the house
she'll get the house.....


my wife never worked
they'll skin me alive
my wife owns the company I'll lose my shirt
my wife has me by the balls
so I cant really 
go

that hurt, nice... lesson: dont sell your soul to vampires for money and security. They will drain all of the blood-force from you.
