Everyone tells you that the minute you get married,
Every other woman in the world suddenly finds you attractive.
It only affects the kind of women you always wanted to sleep with,
But they wouldn't give you the time of day before,
And now they′re banging down your door
And falling to their knees...
At least that's what it feels like because you
In fact, you can't even look at them--
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes.
Except you′re sitting there,
Eating your corned beef sandwich,
And all of a sudden this pair of breasts walks by and smiles at you,
And you′re like, "That's not fair!"
And every other girl would fly away,
And it′d be me and Cathy,
And nothing else would matter--
But it's fine, it′s fine, it's fine,
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I′m fine--
It′s a challenge to resist temptation.
And I have to say that what exacerbates the problem
I′m the center of attention,
"Let′s get a cup of coffee.
Will you look at my manuscript?"
And I'm showing her my left hand,
I'm gesticulating with my left hand,
And then WHOOMP! There′s Cathy!
And there's that really awkward moment
I wasn′t encouraging this,
(Though, of course, I sort of was),
And I don't want to look whipped in front of this woman,
Which is dumb--I shouldn′t care what she thinks
Since I can't fuck her anyway!
And every girl would look like
And it′d be me and Cathy,
And nothing else would matter,
But it's fine, it's fine, it′s fine,
And it′s fine, it's fine, it′s fine--
And I′m fine, I'm fine, I′m fine!
It′s a challenge to resist
When you come home to me,
I′ll wear a sweeter smile
And hope that, for a while, you'll stay.
When you come home to me,
Your hand will touch my face
And banish any trace of gray.
Soon, a love will rise anew
Even greater than the joy I felt
So proud to call you "mine,"
When finally you come home
I'll be there soon, Cathy--
I′ll finish up this chapter and be out the door.
I swear I'll be there soon, Cathy--
I am so proud of you, baby--
You're doing what you never got to do before--
And I will be there, ripe and crawling,
If fuckin' Random House stops calling.
And that day would finally be here.
We're gonna make it through,
And nothing else will matter--
We′ll be fine, we're fine,
We're fine, we′re fine, we′re fine...
I'll be there soon, Cathy
