Is Three Times A Charm

In my life I've been married but twice 
Three times a charm, some old advice
 
Ten years now, I've been dating another 
Twice was enough, said my beloved mother
 
When my new love said- she wants to marry me  
Came words of wisdom, from my brothers three

All three said- "we don't want to burst your bubble, 
but if you marry again brother, you're just looking for trouble" 

I've been divorced twice, so trouble's my game 
If I marry again, it's a good chance, it'll end just the same
 
Another divorce and another ex-wife 
Three times a charm- three wives in my life
 
One day perhaps, I'll ask her to wed 
Maybe when I get the other two wives out of my head
 
But after ten years of dating my love, somehow
I ask myself, should I ask to marry me now?

But then I ask myself, why should I marry again 
Even though this one is a ten
 
And although a ten is definitely fine 
After ten long years, well, now she's a nine 

She's now a nine, and that's all dandy and great 
But...Oh No! Next year- she could be an eight
 
As the years pass by, she might become a close five 
Hopefully by then, we'll both still be alive
  
I hope in the end, when its all's said and done 
That my wife number three, will be my wife- number one!
