The Kind of Wife You Marry When You Have No Money

When you don’t have money, there is the kind of wife you marry You marry her for she is marriageable in a hurry That way, you save yourself time and money And cross your fingers that life with her will be sunny She does not stand out; she may not be so pretty She is not so educated, and neither is she that witty But since you are not rich, you are unqualified to judge Just kiss her every night, even if you don’t feel the urge She may not be the one in your dreams, the one you imagined But she is right there with you, while the other one is in the wind You will always look at and desire other women, for men are hunters But she cooks, cleans and sleeps besides you, and that’s all that matters You don’t love her or hate her, you just don’t know how you feel about her You want to spend as little time with her and the rest of the time at the bar But she won’t be the ideal wife no matter how much you drink You are searching for happiness, but you know she is not the link If you had been rich, you would have married someone else instead But she is the one here now, and she is still a woman God made The other one was looking for a man who had already made it But this one kind of likes you even if you have no credit With time, the little love you had for her seems to grow While the gold digger has been digging and is now down low The man who had made it has no more gold, so the gold digger must go While the wife you married turns to gold and now you know When you don’t have money, be glad for the kind of wife you marry Don’t marry her just because she is marriageable in a hurry Marry her for she is giving you her time and time is money The heart is hidden gold; it takes time to polish it to make life sunny
