One day my sneaking around
Had me caught red handed
I was sure I hid the clues, but
Not according to how she reacted
One day I began thinking
Eight years is a long time
Perfect together no doubt
She would be a great wife
Two months before our anniversary
I bought a ring on the fourth
It would be a surprise
In two months of course
A month went by and all is fine
We are sitting in the kitchen
She said "I'll be right back,
I'll get the mail from the den"
She had a smirk on her face
I didn't quite understand
She laughed a little bit
And sat the mail on the stand
She looked right at me and cried
"I can't believe you spent
A thousand dollars last month,
That gives our savings a big dent"
I forgot we shared that account
The records were there clear
I had to come up with a reason
Or my plan will fail I feared
She started flailing and wailing
I thought I was in for it
But halfway into her lecture
She became emotional a bit
She leaned over to my side
And whispered "nice try"
She said "yes, yes, yes, yes,
I would love to be your bride"
My plans had been foiled
But on the positive side
Though the cat was out of the bag
I knew she would be forever mine
