Trial and Error
Through years of trial and error
Here are some excuses I've tried
So to all you husbands out there
Let my mistakes be your guide
Never tell your wife that you broke a nail
For she'll look at you, like you're crazy
Then she'll hand you a a nail file
And probably even call you lazy
If she asks you if you picked up her mother
Never tell her you forgot
Always lie and tell her you did
Whether you did or not
When Sunday comes, and it's time for church
And you know that she always goes
You won't watch the game, using this excuse
"But dear, I have a run in my hose"
Here's another excuse that just doesn't work
"I just can't find a thing to wear"
Here's one more that's always failed
"I can't do anything with my hair"
So take it from me, for I am an expert
And I have tried them all
Even, "These heels are simply killing my feet"
And, "If I wear them, I'm afraid I will fall"
