I see that once again you have succeeded
In cheering up another lonely wife
You gave her all the sympathy she needed
And brought a little sunshine to her life
I'm glad to see you've learned the joys of giving
But charity should start out in the home
Better slow down your reckless way of living
The wife you save could be your own
A good thing can go bad if they're left too long on the shelf
She's showing all the danger signs, I've seen it myself
And most accidents happen in the home, go on home
The wife you save could be your own
She's bound to learn the lessons that you've taught her
Your pride and you are riding for a fall
Someday she'll end up cutting off your water
Cause you can't read the writing on the wall
Better catch her while she's still forgiving
Less you're strong enough to swim alone
So, Buddy, slow down your reckless way of living
The wife you save could be your own
Cause good things can go bad if they're left too long on the shelf
She's showing all the danger signs,
I've seen it myself
And most accidents happen in the home, go on home
The wife you save could be your own
