I’ll Hold Down the Pillow

I remember when I met you we were so much in love

Through thick and through thin and when push come to shove

Now I don’t see that longing no more in your eyes

So tonight in our bedroom I’ll have a surprise.

Please wear something flimsy, like your headache excuse

Or just match your lips, and wear something loose

We’ll kick that big comforter off on the floor

And I’ll hold down that pillow till you don’t move no more.

 (chorus)

You don’t want me to leave, you don’t want me to stay

You just don’t want me, no how and no way

But whenever I go you’ll be right on the phone

Sayin’ don’t ever leave me, but leave me alone.

So I’ll feed all the kids and I’ll tuck ‘em in tight

And I’ll take out the trash and I’ll turn off the lights

I’ll lock all the doors and I’ll come to your bed

And I’ll hold that big pillow right over your head.

For a moment you’ll think that I’m playing around

But when you first realize you can’t make a sound

I hope when your life flashes right past your eyes

That I’m smiling along with all those other guys.

(chorus 2)

I was wide-eyed and breathless on our wedding day

And now for the first time you’ll be the same way

I may go to prison, get battered and beat,

But at least someone cooks there and washes the sheets.

(repeat chorus 1)

I’m so looking forward to hearing you moan.
