PAULA
Running for my life
Not looking a wife
I thought I’d wait wait...
To date again
But then she came along
So beautiful like this song
And sealed my fate fate
(It wasn’t too late)
When you never thought your life could start again
'Cause everything you knew before was sink or swim
I took her by the hand
Mara fell into the sand
And l thought uh-oh...
Where did she go
Wanted to sweep her off her feet
Not quite so literally
But then she came to…thankfully
Everything I knew before was compromise
Never thought I’d ever be so satisfied
Hey Paula just tell me what to do
You’re a most unusual unsuspected guru
Paula you’re stern and harsh and you are cruel
But Paula…I owe it all to you
We got to talking on a run
Hoping she wouldn’t bring it up
(But well, you know that Paula)
She cornered me and tried
To force me to abide
Until I gave in…she wouldn’t let up
Working on a marriage can be toil and strife
But Paula will drive ya crazy til you have a brand new wife
Hey Paula just tell me what to do
You’re a most unusual unsuspected guru
Paula you’re stern and harsh and you are cruel
But Paula…I owe it all to you
