The story behind this song
He still burns the toast and blames the toaster — same excuse for twenty years. He wiggles his eyebrows across the crowded kitchen like it's nineteen-whatever, and somehow it still works. She rolls her eyes, he takes a bow. That's the whole routine by now: she knows his lines before he starts, he knows exactly when she'll laugh.
He said forever like a punchline, then went and made it true — every dumb joke, every ordinary Tuesday. For the wife who'd still laugh at all of it, and the husband who, funny thing, believed the joke right along with her.
Lyrics
You wiggle your eyebrows like it's nineteen-whatever
And somehow it still works on me
And somehow it still works on me
You burn the toast and blame the toaster
Same excuse for twenty years
You wink across the crowded kitchen
Like nobody else is here
Same excuse for twenty years
You wink across the crowded kitchen
Like nobody else is here
I roll my eyes, you take a bow
That's the whole routine by now
That's the whole routine by now
You said forever like a punchline
Then you went and made it true
Every dumb joke, every Tuesday
Husband, I'd still laugh with you
You said forever — I believed you
Funny thing is, you did too
Then you went and made it true
Every dumb joke, every Tuesday
Husband, I'd still laugh with you
You said forever — I believed you
Funny thing is, you did too
You hum off-key when you do the dishes
Loud on purpose, I suspect
You still call me your better-looking half
Wrong, but I let it stand, my love
Loud on purpose, I suspect
You still call me your better-looking half
Wrong, but I let it stand, my love
I know your lines before you start
You know exactly when I'll laugh
You know exactly when I'll laugh
You said forever like a punchline
Then you went and made it true
Every dumb joke, every Tuesday
Husband, I'd still laugh with you
You said forever — I believed you
Funny thing is, you did too
Then you went and made it true
Every dumb joke, every Tuesday
Husband, I'd still laugh with you
You said forever — I believed you
Funny thing is, you did too
Someday we'll be old and creaky
You'll still try that eyebrow thing
And I'll roll my eyes like always
While it works like everything
You'll still try that eyebrow thing
And I'll roll my eyes like always
While it works like everything
You said forever like a punchline
Then you went and made it true
Every dumb joke, every Tuesday
Husband, I'd still laugh with you
You said forever — I believed you
Funny thing is, you did too
Then you went and made it true
Every dumb joke, every Tuesday
Husband, I'd still laugh with you
You said forever — I believed you
Funny thing is, you did too
Go on, say the thing you always say
I married you for it anyway
I married you for it anyway
