Engagement ring wedding ring 
then comes the suffering 
That unexpected factor in the happy ever after 
Love affair perfect pair to t-shirts and underwear 
You cut the cake and made your wishes 
Now you're doing all the dishes 
You were one smart Cinderella 
Had the whole thing figured out 
You were too in love to listen 
When your mama tried to warn you 'bout 
The engagement ring wedding ring 
and a little bit of suffering 
You stood there at the wedding 
But you never saw it heading 
For a two room flat an aching back 
And a stack of bills overdue 
Now you're sweating in the kitchen
