What They Never Tell You

You think it's like in fairy tales and books
How the earth stops
And the clouds part
And the handsome prince falls right into your lap
And you're kaput
You melt like cheese
But really, please!

Here's what they never tell you
You never really know
You get a feeling
Feel a something
Take a breath and go
There's no big crazy moment
Instead it's bit by bit
You'll make him laugh, he'll make you soup
The shoe begins to fit

And what they never tell you;
You choose if he's the one
He's not a prince
He's just a man
When all is said and done
'Cuz no one is that perfect
Life is not that neat
So take a chance
And take his hand
And jump with all four feet

You can't live expecting your life to be Snow White or Cinderella
Where everything is pretty and pink and pretend
Just go and write your own story
With your best friend

And let a mother tell you
Marriage goes like this;
You have your spats
You have your doubts
You swing, you hit, you miss
But ask me if its worth it
Would I do it all again?
When I think of my girls
And I quell from my life
And I look at my Murray from so long ago
Sweetheart
Then you'll really know
