why i do

you make me laugh
i can never stay mad at you for long
you take care of me when i need you to
and you tolerate my chaos
sometimes i lose the romance
on aisle nine of Fred Meyer's
when we've done 300 errands
sometimes when our bank account gets low
i worry too much
and we stress each other out, say things we don't mean
i'm not mysterious anymore
now you've seen the granny panties as well as the lace thongs
it's a scary world out there
and we've chosen to battle it together
and when i stand up there
i know i'll mean "i do" with every last breath in my lungs
you know me
you understand me
and you still love me
i just can't wait to spend the rest of my life
taking care of the man
that always takes care of me
