One day my sneaking around
Had me caught red handed
I was sure I hid the clues , but
Not according to how she reacted

One day I had been thinking
Eight years is a long time
Perfect together no doubt
I think she would be a great wife

Two months before our anniversary
I bought a ring on the fourth
It would be a surprise
In two months of course

A month went by and all's fine
We are sitting in the kitchen
She said I'll be right back
I'll get the mail from the den

She had a smirk on her face
I didn't quite understand
She laughed a little bit
And sat the papers on the stand

She looked right at me and cried
A can't believe you spent
A thousand dollars last month
That gives our savings a big dent

I forgot that we shared that account
The records were there so clear
I had to come up with a reason
Or my plan will fail I feared

She started flailing and wailing
I thought I was in for it
But halfway into her lecture
She became emotional a bit

She leaned over to my side
And whispered nice try
She said yes yes yes yes
I would love to be your bride

My plans had been foiled
But on the positive side
Though the cat was out of the bag
I knew she would be forever mine
