Chasing the Dime

Have you ever heard of the eighty twenty rule Well that was created for a lot of us fools In a relationship you re only getting eighty percent Of what you really need Even though there are twenty percent out there That might look good indeed Stop and think are things really that bad To perhaps jeopardize the best thing you ever had Are things really that out of line Where you can afford to throw away a dollar Just to chase a dime Is it worth trading the a simple life for a life of hell Just because you thought you wanted a piece of tail Yea temptation will catch your eye That doesn’t means the grass is greener on the other side So If you signed up to cherish honor and obey You cant change your mind when something new comes your way Maybe your relationship is not what you want it to be But before you start another let that one free And once you're out there you will see Why there is so much space between eighty and twenty That twenty might be great but think to yourself Once that five minutes is over what do you have left To late you're left crying thinking about the facts How badly you wish you could get that eighty percent back there will always be temptation from time to time but don't throw away a dollar trying to chase down a dime
