Who Gave You Permission

Who gave you permission?
Who said you could go?
You know if you asked me I would've said no

You always said we'd grow old together
You promised thats the way it would be
You never said one would go first
How could you do this to me?

Who's there to cook for?
And what's there to clean?
And how will I fill up the washing machine?
How do you sleep with nobody snoring?
Waste a tea bag for one cup of tea?
A loaf of bread lasts me a month
How could you do this to me?

Who's gonna balance the checkbook?
Who will correct me when I'm right?
Who's gonna change the fuse and zip me up in the back?
Who's gonna kiss me goodnight?

Who said I was ready?
Who said I was strong?
I'd never desert you, not after so long
You helped me through the birth of our children
You did your share of bottles and diapers
You were at my side through bumps and measles
You drove the car, paid off the mortgage
You always made me go to the dentist
And only you remembered my birthday

Whenever there trouble
You managed to fix it somehow
And if ever there was I time I needed you, its now
Its now
