Here I am
Standing here at the proverbial fork in the road
And all that’s on my mind is
Why did I get married
On one hand, there’s my kids and my wife
The loves of my life
On the other, there’s all the strife
The arguments and fights
In terms of this marriage thing, I haven’t been at it too long
But I swear sometimes it just feels all wrong
Then there are the times when it feels oh so right
Because I love this woman with all of my might
So I’m faced with a dilemma, a decision I must make
At this point of my life, which path should I take
To the left, the single life
Freedom, the ability to go with the motions
To the right is my wife
My family, love and devotion
Is this a trick question, which is the right way
Life as a family man or a return to my playa days
I remember that part of my life with conflicting emotions
Not a care in the world, cool as a breeze on the ocean
And you always could find me up in the club
Because my nights were lonely, I was missing love
And that’s where she came in
The keeper of my heart, the queen of my life
My best friend, my confidant, my beautiful wife
Who am I kidding, my choice has been made
My life is about more than trying to get laid
I’ve laid a foundation on which to build my legacy
That’ll last much longer than fleeting moments of ecstasy
A woman that’s worth some anger has gotta be worth some effort
Right?
Plus, I wouldn’t be able to breathe if I left her
And God blessed her, with the patience to deal with me
So that’s means our union is meant to last for eternity
