Roving Hands Uh Oh

Valentines comin and it won’t be long, 
But I get a sense that you done me wrong?
You kissed that girl in the back of me,
Said it was gossip cause I didn't see!

You said she's ma cousin, and kissin's okay,
Now I feel foolish for acting that way!
But what about dancing and grabbing her hips?
You said," it's okay she can't have my lips"

And then when your hand roved up her back,
Said that's okay, we're not in the sack!
And that.s the reason I must tell you now 
I can't let you go, I just wouldn't know how!

You're everything good like a male should be,
Considerate, kind, thinking only of me!
You're proud of my paycheck, telling me so,
And our wedding is comin, just so you know!

I asked for a ring on my hand that would bind,
And you said that was fine but not at this time!
We must live on love until things are straight,
And you swore that I was your very last date!

Said you'd soon get a job but right now you're tired,
There was no incarceration when you got fired!
Just try not to worry you said we'd be fine,
I'm the girl of your dreams and you didn't do time!

And now I must go and look for a dress,
That's white and as pure as love's happiness,
I must call on the pastor for a choir to sing,
You said I'm smart and should do everything!

So goodnight my darling and when we awake
Be home from the dance with the cousin you take,
I'll arrive at the church on a plain city bus,
A fifty thousand dollar limousine, just for us!
