Taking sides

Was listening to a YouTube mix 

Of songs the other day

When a song came on, I knew it 

As soon as it began to play 

 

Remember 'That's What Friends Are For'?

I'm sure you do, a super hit

Dionne Warwick and some other superstars

Who were singing it

 

They sing 'For good times and bad times

I'll be on your side forevermore'

I hate that line, I'll tell you why 

It's a line I don't adore 

 

My wife and I, we share a bed

Guess I shouldn't complain 

She likes the left side of the bed 

Me too, it's become a pain 

 

Every night she does what is the worst 

She distracts me, then she gets into bed first 

When I ask 'Why you always do that for?'

She says 'Love you hon, I'll be on your side forevermore'

 

It makes me very sad

I really am bereft

Don't like sleeping on the right side

I prefer the left

 

I'm so very disgusted 

May soon be sleeping on the floor

Hon, I love you too but please

Don't take my side no more!
