Ok Men!!!!!!!

Let me get this straight
May you men can help me out
I got divorced 11 years ago
For drugs and abuse was about

I'm 11 years clean
Not proud of my stupid past
My ex calls me outta the blue
Wants me to confess what HE remembers last

I tell him I don't remember
Some of the stupid stuff I might have done
Humbly admit to what I know
Thinking his heart I again have won

He says Pot is ok for him
But Crank affected my brain
I tell him I can't remember
Now he's calling my insane

After this much time
His accusations are totally untrue
I can admit to doing drugs to stay married
But he's lost in pot brain blues

I must admit to swinging
While he worked on graveyard
And I'm watching over six kids
This is a little hard

I must admit to destroying him
For in the end of abuse is only divorce
What did he expect?
A nice easy course.

If I admit to all of this
11 years later, he'll take me back
I think I'd rather do drugs again
Then to go down that same track
