Now listen to my story good advice I'll give to you

Life can have its good times but it has its sorrows too

So if you're looking for some new love there'd better not be any doubt

Before you'll leave your woman here's something to think about

Now friends this story almost ended in divorce

About the worst thing that can happen in this world

How can you marry and love and then leave

After you fought so hard to win this girl

Well maybe you've been married for five or six years

And everything seems to be gettin' just a little old

Well that's still not much reason to betray this true woman

And leave her out in the cold

Now she may get on your nerves and you may have fight sometimes

So you try to make yourself think she don't love you

But you know she'll love you till the end of time

And I tell you it's mighty hard to look in the eyes

Of the one you've loved and tell her this is the end

And if you don't think so then you'd better stop and think hard about it my friend

And when you see her out with a stranger and your heart begins to doubt

If you'd made the right decision or not now brother that's something to think about

So you see this all runnin' around and night life it ain't very much fun

I know cause I've just been through it but thank God she's let me come home

So if you're thinking about leaving stop before you walk out

Cause you might not be so lucky it's something to think about
