Is Three Times A Charm
In my life I've been married but twice
Three times a charm, some old advice
Ten years now, I've been dating another
Twice was enough, said my beloved mother
When my new love said- she wants to marry me
Came words of wisdom, from my brothers three
All three said- "we don't want to burst your bubble,
but if you marry again brother, you're just looking for trouble"
I've been divorced twice, so trouble's my game
If I marry again, it's a good chance, it'll end just the same
Another divorce and another ex-wife
Three times a charm- three wives in my life
One day perhaps, I'll ask her to wed
Maybe when I get the other two wives out of my head
But after ten years of dating my love, somehow
I ask myself, should I ask to marry me now?
But then I ask myself, why should I marry again
Even though this one is a ten
And although a ten is definitely fine
After ten long years, well, now she's a nine
She's now a nine, and that's all dandy and great
But...Oh No! Next year- she could be an eight
As the years pass by, she might become a close five
Hopefully by then, we'll both still be alive
I hope in the end, when its all's said and done
That my wife number three, will be my wife- number one!
