Vowed Out

You're my ideal woman I'll
love you forever I'll worship at the
alter of your breasts your thighs oh kiss me
again never stop oh yes touch me there I'll fill rooms with 
red roses but they'll fade next to you yes yes do it again will you marry me
I take this woman for better or worse til death do us part so help me god we did
it yes we won't be like all the rest I may be late for dinner tonight yes I took out the garbage
okay so I  forgot our anniversary what's the big deal why do I have to tell you I love you I'm here aren't I where are my socks stop nagging me I'll get it done isn't that dress a little tight on you I liked your hair better longer okay so I stared at her legs what's the big deal it's not like I was trying to make her it's your fault I scream you forget to turn out the lights don't act so neurotic
and now what's wrong I'll never understand women do you
live with the phone to one ear okay okay so I kissed
her a few times so what she treats me a hell of a
lot better than you I'll come back and pick up
the rest of my stuff next week why do
women always want to be friends
stop the waterworks jeeze women
always cry I'll call you go with the
flow nothing lasts forever
get over it!
