Verse 1: (acapella) Sign your name on the dotted line and let's end this marriage of ours
late night whispers lead to affairs of the heart
boy there's no turning back once the deal is done
I'm overrun... (silence two, three, four - music begins)
with gladness and trepidation
standing out of the shadows and seeing the whole picture
for what it is and what it was
no pulling teeth, no pulling hair, no popcorn to be had
we had a go, we had our turn
time to explore this big bad world without you
Chorus: We weren't meant to be together love goes on
second failed marriage so Hell is calling my name
this time I'll do it right Lord forgive me for my sinning
husband number three is a tech (company) startup away
if Cupid doesn't strike me at least this time I'll be able to keep my money
and I'll just go with happiness
go with happiness
Verse 2: It's embarrassing but it's life and I'll wear the divorcee asterisk be the punchline
don't have to live a lie and I'll grow from this
now everyone is singing
study this and letting go
common sense isn't common when it comes to love and moving along down the road
peace can be achieved with level heads and honorable hearts
Chorus
Rap: This is about mature heads dividing and settling
love changes it's journey new chapter to a storybook ending
years go by and our kids have managed
not easy but we gave them every advantage
no one on the pole, in rehab or on reality tv
therapy session after therapy session pulled a Gretzky
one holiday here, one holiday there
one weekend here, one weekend there
not normal but we made it work
double Christmas seen as a perk
hasn't always been easy receiving end of malice
agree to disagree found the balance
not sweating small stuff, coping-mechanism
rightfully so saw through the b.s. pessimism
seeing beyond the jilted lover clichés
thankful for your co-parenting and grownup ways
Chorus
outro

Notes - Something like a divorce anthem or another type of love song.
