Lyrics
If At First You Don?t Succeed
Chorus:
Some men think women don?t know what is best.
Just wait and see, they?ll soon be put to test.
They try so hard, to make it work, and then you?ll hear them say,
If at first you don?t succeed, try it your wife?s way.
It was so sweet of him, to wash the pots and pans.
He scrubbed and scrubbed until his hands were sore.(He couldn?t take no more)
I tried to tell him, it was best to soak them.
But he just walked right out and slammed the door.
One night he washed the clothes, while watching TV shows.
I said, don?t mix the reds with the whites. (He didn?t do it right)
He grinned and looked at me, he said I guess we?ll see
Now his shirts are pink and quite a sight.
Well, it?s been 30 years and he?s a wiser guy.
Most things, he does as well as I. (Rrrrrrright)
He?s learned a lot since then, he even tells his friends,
?Just listen to your wife before you try?.
Tag:
If at first you don?t succeed, try it your wife?s way.
(Honey, are you wearing pink again)
