"What part of..I'm Married.. do you not understand?"
Can you not see the ring that I wear on my hand?
I've tried to be polite to your feelings for me.
But, NO has been my answer ...consistantly.

You call on the phone, and you knock on my door.
And now I won't answer either one anymore.
And just when I think your gone and its done.
I walk to the car and "OH MY GOSH!" here you come.

Now, I'm just rude! Leave me alone, go away!
I'm married, love my husband, no, I don't want to play!
In this society filled with instant and quick.
The here today, gone tomorrow just makes me sick.

Some people take those vows quite seriously.
Being honest and faithful means something to me.
Forget that you know me, lose my number, my name.
No matter when you ask me, the answers the same.

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.

The worst thing about some men is that thought in that little brain of theirs that even though you say NO.. what you mean is yes. I guess it's because the brain they seem to be using is about as far from their ears as you can get.

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.
