Just Because I Said, I Do
Just because I said, I do
Does not mean I will
Pick up all my messes
Wipe up every spill
You know that I'm a slob
But just what can I do
I hope you know I do my best
Trying to please you
And just because I said, I do
Doesn't mean I won't
Say that you snore too loud
Even though you don't
I know it's just the wind
Blowing hard outside
Maybe it's a train
On clacking tracks it rides
So just because I said, I do
Does not mean I can't
Point out all your issues
And listen to you rant
Sometimes you descend on me
Like an eagle from the sky
Striking at my failures
The wounds still make me cry
I think just because I said, I do
You think that I always should
Do everything you ask of me
Because it's for my good
My love this does not work for me
And life's a long, long road
So please do me a favor
And lighten up the load
You think just because I said, I do
You own my very life
I say I'll share with you
And keep you as my wife
I'm not sure you like the deal
Your face is hard to read
And just because you said, I do
You soon must concede
I know just because I said, I do
That we will never part
And that is just fine with me
Because you have all my heart
I'll try my best for you
Of this have no doubt
But when I do screw up
Please don't scream or pout
Just because I said, I do
I'll say one last thing
Forget all I said before
I 'm glad you wear my ring
