~ You Never Had It So Good. ~

If I knew how to be kind,

all of the time,

instead of sometimes going out of my mind,

I would do it for you.

If I could be cool,

when my buttons are pushed,

instead of being such a tool,

I would do it for you.

If I could stop and think,

when you make me angry,

instead of sending you to the brink,

I would do it for you.

But sometimes you drive me crazy,

and isn’t that better

than if I were just lazy?

Because a dull and colorless life

would be unbearable

if I were a quiet and dutiful wife.

So just remember, if you would

when I’m raking you over the coals

that you never had it so good.
