So This is Love
Working overtime and the hours late
get home hungry but you already ate
The fridge is empty and dishes piled in sink
to top it off our love life is absent it stinks
Streaming your shows no time to talk
the bed is covered with new clothes you bought
Bills overflow and are past due
not even a part time job is for you
Open the closet and shoes shoes shoes
I got two pairs but hundreds for you
I lay in the bathtub trying to sleep
you use the toilet and my nose weeps
Sleeping in the SUV I wonder how
what went wrong, what now
In the morning I shower and you join me
breakfast was made ready who could you be
You got a job working from home
and your signing bonus pays off our car loan
Come home early and the house is clean
you're fixing supper like a cooking machine
That night in bed we forgot to sleep
so this is love and you're for keeps.
