My thoughts may stray

My eyes may roam

The neighbor's grass may seem much greener

Than the grass right here at home

If pretty girls excite me

Well, that's life

But just in case, you didn't know

I love my wife

My mind at times

May dwell on sex

If someone's rating dreams

Then most of mine I guess are double X

So dimpled knees delight me

Well, that's life

But just in case, you hadn't heard

I love my wife

Like bait that wriggles

And it makes catfish bite

A lady jiggles

And my eyes gotta light

Upon so sweet a sight

And if I shake

Break out in spots

Don't fret, it's not swine fever dear

Your swine has merely got the hots

If rosy lips invite me

Well, that's life

But just in case, you couldn't guess

I love my wife

My mind at times

May dwell on sex

If someone's rating dreams

Then most of mine I guess are double X

If rosy lips invite me

Well, that's life

But just in case, you couldn't guess

Or hadn't heard

Or didn't know

I love my wife

I love my wife

I love my wife

mmm

I love my wife
