The Wedding Cake Lyrics

Don't be troubled 'bout me cause I'm tired
From workin' 'round the house
When day is done.
Don't think you failed me cause you can't afford
That dishwasher to make my life more fun.

You know, the measure of a man is
Much more than just the money he can make.

And every woman knows a lot of joy and tears
Come with the wedding cake.

The wedding cake is not all icing,
And love and tender whispers in the dark.

One slice is concern for all your dreams prayed
They won't come true and break your heart.
Another slice is feedin' kids and wipin' noses,
Cryin' when the doorbell rings and there are roses.

Every woman knows a lot of give and take
Comes with the wedding cake.

It's facin' shadows of the future,
Prayin' they will fall away as we walk toward them, searchin' for the sun
And it's long and anxious hours with the wolf at the door.
Hugs and kisses when, at last, we see the dawn

So when the hands of time trace tellin' lines upon our face,
And lace our hair with strands of gray.
We laugh and say for all who will partake,
It all comes with the wedding cake.

Yes, for all who will partake,
It all comes with the wedding cake.
Yes, for all who will partake,
It all comes with the wedding cake.
