I Gotta Good One

I can't write about how women always want to change you, rearrange you, chain you
No, I'll never say a bad word about the drama, the “I can't stand your mama”, and the trauma it causes  
You'll not hear me complain about the spending, or the bills never ending  
I'll never complain about her getting ready for hours, and the “why don't you buy me flowers”  
Nope, not gonna talk about the “pay attention to me”, instead of the AFC, or the WWE  
My lips will never mouth the “Why don't you take me out”, or mock the way she pouts.  
Nope, and you know why?  
Cause I found a girl who doesn't want to fight  
And why?  
Because I treat her right  
Women only want to change you cause you're shit to begin with  
So buck it up, Buttercup, and be a man  
  
She's never tried to change me, cause she likes who I am, what would she change me into?  
She hates drama even more than I do  
She's frugal to a fault, and she never spends money on a whim  
She's ready before I am, and I buy her flowers because she deserves them  
If I'm watching sports she's right beside me  
And about the only place I can talk her into going is the beach  
And you want me to complain?  
Not a chance  
And why?  
Because she treats me right  
Men only complain about women cause they're full of shit  
So buck it up, Buttercup, and be a man
