I raised her kid
Gave her a home
I paid the bills
And then some
I bought her a car
Money on the side
I even loved her
Made her my bride

Eternally Grateful
That's what she said
As she closed the door
Behind her
Eternally Grateful
What does it mean
What's it all about
What's it for

Begged her to stay
I tried to change
Took dancing lessons
Very strange
She called me Cold Fish
She called me a dud
She found someone else
He must be a stud

Eternally Grateful
That's what she said
As she closed the door
Behind her
Eternally Grateful
What does it mean
What's it all about
What's it for

I'll make my way
To the strip club
Find some young stripper
Looking for love

Eternally Grateful
That's what she said
As she closed the door
Behind her
Eternally Grateful
What does it mean
What's it all about
What's it for
