Clause 5, Sub-Paragraph d)
===========================
Clause number 5
sub-paragraph d)
that's what my lawyer
he said to me
Seems like that damn fine print
it was the key
that'll forever change
my life's destiny
Had I not signed there
on that dotted line
my financial health
it would be just fine
But what's done is done
now times are tough
'cause my angry wife
has all of my stuff
Chorus
=======================
Don't want a divorce
don't want a divorce
why did the ship of our love
ever have to change course
======================
What can I do babe
to get you back?
I wanna cover you in syrup
like a hot pancake stack
I'll be a brand new man
all romantic and caring
to gain your trust again
my soul to you I'll be bearing
Even when you're wrong
you'll still be right
I'll never say anything bad
that could lead to a fight
I know I took ya for granted
let our love slip away
what used to be so bright
became a charcoal grey
But I know I can change
if ya just give me a chance
I'll light a whole new spark
and heat up this romance
So screw all the lawyers
with their rates by the hour
let's unite as a couple
and take back the power
Forget about Clause 5
sub-paragraph d)
all we need is each other
to live our lives happily
Chorus
===========================
Don't want a divorce
don't want a divorce
don't put the final bullet
into the heart of this lame horse
===========================
Don't want to get a divorce
to you I wanna stay married
let the mistakes of our past
all remain dead and buried
I used to be a lost soul
but now I see the light
can't give up on our love
and not put up a fight
So sit down, think it over
consider this my final plea
I promise to love you forever
if you stay married to me
===========================
