Alimony

Lyrics

[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
