We Only Stayed Together for the Kids Lyrics

i made a vow
and how
and you made a few
now we just row
and how!
"i do," i said, "i do"

will the angry words fade away in time?
or will they never really leave us?

just when they seem to be forgotten
is when they make their claim
on my feeble frame
and it all comes crashing home again

you must think me very naïve, baby
it's years since i have seen you without clothes
there were times we only stayed together for the kids
now i don't want to do as I am told
i stuck around
for you
you stuck to me like glue

turned sandra down
for you
and now i hear that you did too

will the happy words fade away in time?
or will they never really leave us?
i put them somewhere safe, but i can't remember where
will my body turn against me now?
will anybody notice anyhow?

we won't starve
won't want
it's gentle and it's cruel
that the money won't run out until we do

we won't feel pain
just rage
"i love you and i'll stay"
and the money won't run out until we do
