When a woman leaves her marriage, you know she's always right.
When a woman leaves her marriage, you know she's always right.
But when a man walks out, he's one bad dude all right.

I went to see a lawyer to protect me from my wife.
He said "Just give her everything, it's a legal fact of life."

Uncoupling is the polite word for what unhappily marrieds do.

The agreement gives her money and gives you access headaches too.

"Mom's house or Dad's house, where is supper tonight?"
"Mom's house or Dad's house, where is supper tonight?"
And who gets the kids on Christmas Eve night?

Are they with me or her? I'd better check the calendar.

Now if your marriage is going right, then maybe something's wrong.
You'll go to work one morning, come back to find the furniture gone.

Separation, subjugation, angry words proliferation,
Disregard of dignity, a lack of human decency,
Split the assets litigation, even mental mutilation,
Do 'em first before to you, the whole damn thing is like a zoo.
Some people are stuck like glue, others have separation blues.
