Lyrics

Hook:
So why is there a level of fantasy?
That revolves around a marriage like it's meant to be
A natural attraction to many
A total contradiction to the term of matrimony
The laws that are in place provide a level of convenience
Exclusive rights are granted to the full assets
You thought you knew them well before the wedding
And now you find yourself in a position you're regretting

1st Verse:
So you're thinking of committing to the one you love
Cause everything is perfect and you can't think of
Another person worthy of the honor
To spend their life united with you holding to the promise
That you will love each other while agreeing to exclusiveness
Attraction to another would be foolish when
The state of being married should erase it
Forget about your natural observation in relation
To humans and behavior correlating to the way we think
Suppressing of emotions told to be discreet
So why is it a wonder when we choose to cheat
When held to standards challenging our prime instinct
If marriage is a path we choose to travel down
Then honesty's the key in which the truth is found
That even though we choose to be together
Attraction to variety is natural forever

Hook

2nd Verse:
No admiration for the mental or the physical
Attraction solely focused on the principal
Success attributed to finances
The thought of sharing property is simply outstanding
So now you're on a mission to align yourself and stake a claim
With motives clearly centered on financial gain
It's time to put the proper plan in motion
Seducing them entirely with fraudulent emotion
And now it is a hook, line, and sinker as you've made your catch
Convincing them you all would be a perfect match
So why don't we just make it all official
Within a court of law so it will never be an issue
And now this is accomplished then you gradually begin to change
They notice that your presentation's not the same
And now they wonder who is it to blame
When in reality they are the victim of a game

Hook

3rd Verse:
So they were everything you wanted when you first met them
They fully qualified as both a lover and friend
A confidant in which you could depend
A person you could see embracing to the very end
And now that you are married in a sudden they begin to change
The person once desired clearly not the same
And what you once envisioned of a spouse
You start to realize that this is not what they're about
But even if they were it wouldn't guarantee a life of joy
When naturally we change and we cannot avoid
The change in how we feel for one another
And this is why they say marriage is work unlike no other
So now you must decide if you'll continue, try to work it out
As long as you acknowledge what it's all about
We're naturally subjected to change
So is it worth your sanity for you to maintain

Hook
