He keeps her in money
Fathers her children
Bought her a house on the lake
He feels that his time and his investment in love
Makes up for the advantage he takes

He knows that he's happy
But he cheats when he can
Cause there's an empty spot in his life
And on goes the story, the ego and the glory
Of the single man and his wife

He flirts and carouses, dreams up excuses
To stay out late every night
He don't love any of the women he sees
But if it wasn't for her he just might

He loves her and needs her, but he needs so much more
And it cuts at him like a dull knife
And the stress of emotion swells like an ocean
For the single man and his wife

~~~♫♫♫~~~

Yeah, he wants to be married, he wants to be single
He wants back whatever he's missed
He longs to be younger and wilder and freer
But sometimes he just longs for her kiss

And as he gets older, the lies that he told her
Don't help with the worry and strife
And the feelings get bitter, but he'll never quit her
He's the single man and his wife

And it never slows down on the merry-go-round
For the single man and his wife
