lyrics

I Want To Be Your Wife

I’ll sleep in the bed that i’ve made
Conform to role I’ve been given
So shape me and mold me like clay
And everyday you’ll awake to my face

I’ll fill you with bacon and eggs
Force feed you warm custard and cake
Until you’ve all but doubled in weight
For fifty years and them i’ll disappear
Into thin air

When your shoulder is cold
I’ll fall asleep with my face to the wall
Who said silence was gold
Give me permission to speak

Forgive me for being so bleak
But smother me under the sheets
Some truth for a smack on the cheek
And with every waking kiss i’m in matrimonial bliss
