verse
Everyone tells you that the minute you get married
Every other woman in the world
Suddenly finds you attractive
It only affects the kind of women
You always wanted to sleep with
But they wouldn't give you the time of day before
And now they're banging down your door
And falling to their knees
verse
At least that's what it feels like because you
In fact, you can't even look at them
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
Except you're sitting there
Eating your corned beef sandwich
And all of a sudden, this pair of breasts walks by
And you're like, "That's not fair!"
chorus
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
It's not a problem, it's just a challenge
It's a challenge to resist temptation
verse
What exacerbates the problem is I'm at these parties
I'm the center of attention
"Let's get a cup of coffee
Will you look at my manuscript?"
And I'm showing her my left hand
I'm gesticulating with my left hand
verse
And then whoop! There's Cathy!
'Cause she knows, they always know
And there's that really awkward moment
Where I try to show I wasn't encouraging this
Which of course I sort of was
And I don't want to look whipped in front of this woman
Which is dumb, I shouldn't care what she thinks
Since I can't fuck her anyway!
chorus
And it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!
It's not a problem, it's just a challenge
It's a challenge to resist temptation
verse
I'll wear a sweeter smile
And hope that, for a while, you'll stay
Your hand will touch my face
And banish any trace of gray
verse
Soon, a love will rise anew
Even greater than the joy I felt
So proud to call you mine
When you finally come home to me
verse
I'll be there soon, Cathy
I'll finish up this chapter and be out the door
I swear I'll be there soon, Cathy
I am so proud of you, baby
You're doing what you never got to do before
chorus
And nothing else will matter
We'll be fine, we're fine
We're fine, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine
I'll be there soon, Cathy
