A young boy
I couldn't wait to open the present
Today I find it much better
to give than recieve
Sometimes I am scammed
Girl on the phone,
"How am I going to get home?"
She's in front of a bank machine
"The banks are closed
It says I have to go to the bank"
I'm out of gas an old scam
I know it's dumb but I give her gas money
I was going to buy a lotto ticket
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Little girl in a cart
Looks me right in the eye
She's showing me her new play horse
The smile is worth the talking game
Mom says you don't hafto,
Yes I do i remember the days I opened presents
My wife says I am a soft touch
But adds maybe the reason I married you
then again she wants to go shopping
You gotta draw the line somewhere
