Engagement ring wedding ring
then comes the suffering
That unexpected factor in the happy ever after
Love affair perfect pair to t-shirts and underwear
You cut the cake and made your wishes
Now you're doing all the dishes
You were one smart Cinderella
Had the whole thing figured out
You were too in love to listen
When your mama tried to warn you 'bout
The engagement ring wedding ring
and a little bit of suffering
You stood there at the wedding
But you never saw it heading
For a two room flat an aching back
And a stack of bills overdue
Now you're sweating in the kitchen
