For the Ladies

I kissed you on the cheek, "Good-night my love", I say,
You turned to me and smile, a baby's on the way,
and then you drift asleep, to dream of life anew,
and I lie wondering, just what, I should do...

I could kick you in the stomach, and catch you unawares,
I could swear to god you accidentally fell that flight of stairs.
When I tell you that I love you I will look you in the eye,
as I slowly slide the hanger up your thigh...
