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
