The Wedding Cake
Don't be troubled 'bout me 'cause I'm tired from workin'
Round the house when day is done
Don't think you failed me
'Cause you can't afford that dishwasher to make my life more fun
You know, the measure of a man
Is much more than just the money he can make
And every woman knows a lot of joy and tears
Come with the wedding cake
The wedding cake is not all icing
And love and tender whispers in the dark
One slice is concern for all your dreams prayed
They won't come true and break your heart
Another slice is feedin' kids and wipin' noses
Cryin' when the doorbell rings and there are roses
Every woman knows a lot of give and take comes with the wedding cake
It's facin' shadows of the future
Prayin' they will fall away as we walk toward them searchin' for the sun
And it's long and anxious hours with the wolf at the door
Hugs and kisses when at last we see the dawn
So when the hands of time trace
Tellin' lines upon our face and lace our hair with strands of gray
We laugh and say for all who will partake
It all comes with the wedding cake
Yes, for all who will partake
It all comes with the wedding cake
Oh, yes, for all who will partake
It all comes with the wedding cake
Round the house when day is done
Don't think you failed me
'Cause you can't afford that dishwasher to make my life more fun
You know, the measure of a man
Is much more than just the money he can make
And every woman knows a lot of joy and tears
Come with the wedding cake
The wedding cake is not all icing
And love and tender whispers in the dark
One slice is concern for all your dreams prayed
They won't come true and break your heart
Another slice is feedin' kids and wipin' noses
Cryin' when the doorbell rings and there are roses
Every woman knows a lot of give and take comes with the wedding cake
It's facin' shadows of the future
Prayin' they will fall away as we walk toward them searchin' for the sun
And it's long and anxious hours with the wolf at the door
Hugs and kisses when at last we see the dawn
So when the hands of time trace
Tellin' lines upon our face and lace our hair with strands of gray
We laugh and say for all who will partake
It all comes with the wedding cake
Yes, for all who will partake
It all comes with the wedding cake
Oh, yes, for all who will partake
It all comes with the wedding cake
