The Look

When two people get married 
A new language will unfold 
The man knows not to question why 
Just do what he is told 

She never has to say a word 
It all comes in that glare 
It's the look that men never speak about 
The "you better not do that" stare 

You know the one I speak of 
Like when a woman passes by 
And if she catches you looking at her 
You get that evil eye 

Or when you say something stupid 
And she just shakes her head 
You know the look I'm talking about 
That one that says, "You're dead" 

Or when you're at her mother's 
You better not say a word 
You know her eyes are watching you 
Even if she's never heard 

So when you learn this language 
Your words will surely die 
The look she'll give will be enough 
To even make a grown man cry
