Alimony

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a multiple offender at the altar of love
I've got ex-wives one, two, three
I've even got a bumper sticker on my car
That says "Honk if you were married to me"
I changed their names all right to plaintiff
Just before they said goodbye
And each one left a little parting gift
For me to remember her by

[Chorus]
That was alimony, alimony
That's a bill you get for the thrill you got
That's the price of matrimony
Now, it may seem strange and sound a little funny
How you're married for love and divorced for money
After the magic is long gone, that alimony lingers on

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm pretty dang sure my ex-wives conferred
With the same lawyer in the end
'Cause each left me without a pot, or a home to put a pot in
But if I ever get the urge to marry again
I can cut out the middleman
If every five years I'd just give away a house
To some woman that I can't stand

[Chorus]
I'd save a little alimony, alimony
That's a bill you get for the thrill you got
That's the price of matrimony
Now, it may seem strange and sound a little funny
How you're married for love and divorced for money
After the magic is long gone, that alimony lingers on

[Outro]
There goes the bride, pullin' my new double wife
But the alimony lingers on
