Appreciation

One morning in the courthouse
A lady came to sort out
The problems with her husband
Said she was tired of him
What a sad situation
She'd lost her admiration
She came in desperation
And, without hesitation
Said

I want a divorce!
He's always late for dinner
He's not getting any an thinner
He never folds his clothes
In public picks his nose
I just can't take his humming
He cannot fix the plumbing
No words about my cooking
Or how good I am looking
Judge! I just want some

Appreciation
Communication
Fender affection
Something to remind me of
The days when we were so in love!
Appreciation
Communication
Tender affection
The things he used to do before
That made our marriage so much more

And the wise judge said

My dear lady, here's a little advice

Before you come to choose
Think of all you stand to lose
The little ones adore him
He is providing for them
His eyes still have that twinkle
He doesn't count your wrinkles
He's never drunk or violent
And when you shout, he's silent
Do you really want to part?

Go home for 30 days
And count his loving ways
If your love for him is buried
You wish you'd never married
If you still have regrets
Can't forgive and forget
You find that nothing works
I'll grant you your divorce
But first, try a little

Tender affection
Something to remind you of
The days when you were so in love
Appreciation

Tender affection
The things you used to do before
That made your marriage so much more

I'd like to mention here the lady never came back
But she wrote me in a letter just today

Thanks for all your good advice
It helped me see the light
And there's been such a change at home
Since I tried some

Tender affection
Now everything reminds me of
The days when we were so in love

Things are better than before
It's made our marriage so much more
