I'm your wife
 

She dipped her pen in soulful ink

Through tearful eyes she tried to think

What should she write, is there still time?

Are words enough to change his mind?

She wrote in lines of tearful prose

A broken heart in party clothes

A silly kiss, a dance floor dare

What fibster told such lies unfair?

The story false, spread by mischief

There was no dark end of the street

No press against a cold stone wall

No truth in all these lies at all

You must believe, you know me well

False truths and lies I do not tell

I have not, would not, play that game

You know that I'm not made that way

One silly kiss was all it was

Would you let that destroy our love?

For if you would you're not the man

I thought you were, I thought I had

Come home to me right now my love

We'll face the truth, we'll show them up

My lips, my arms, my heart, my life

Are yours forever – I'm your wife
