[Verse 1]
Wife number 1, her confidence had gone
The pounds had piled upon those deadly thighs
As she sank into the sand, and missed my outstretched hand
I could not understand her final cries
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She did not feed me well
She led me close to hell
When faced with final bell
What a surprise
[Chorus]
The women and their husbands, they are chalk and they are cheese
You cannot call it true love until one of you's on your knees
The women and their husbands, they are North and they are South
Love just can't survive unless you learn to hush your mouth
Love just can't survive unless you learn to hush your mouth
[Verse 2]
Wife number 2, so loyal and so true
Till the wind on bridge top blew, she was mine
But when she hit that railway track, there was no going back
I watched her poor head cracked by the eight o nine
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She did not love me right
I called her late at night
Asking her friends of ours
Instead of mine
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Wife number 3, she fell into the sea
But I had to let her be, I could not swim
As I stood there soaking wet, my only real regret
Is I could not quite forget she slept with him
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Wife number 4, he loves me to the core
So I like to stay indoors and watch TV
If he mentions going out, he puts finger to my mouth
And reminds me of wives 1,2, and 3
