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 (fade)
