YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE

I picked you up from your suicidal thoughts 
When your ex left you emotionally disturbed 
I listen to your brokenness and pain 
I helped you to rebuild your life again 

I took care of your children as my own 
I clothed and fed them daily 
Even give them a home

I took them to the park
And pick them up from school 
I showed them love and kindness 
I taught them to live by the golden rule 

But your ex was still in your head
The same one that you wanted dead
After all these years he is back in your life
I guess it has slipped your mind 
That our vows before god 
Has made us man and wife 

What has he given you but pain 
Why would you want to walk that way again 
When would you get it in your head and mind
That a good man is hard to find.
