The Look
When a man and woman 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
Men will see it in that glare
It's the look that men never speak about
The "You better not do that" stare
You know the one I speaking of
Like when a woman on the street passes by
And if she catches you sneaking a peek
You'll get that evil eye
Or when you say something stupid
And your wife starts shaking 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 though she's never heard
It doesn't need any definition
Cause men know what it means
It's the look than causes your heart to stop
And can even rupture their spleens
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
