Other Side of the Fence

I am happy I am so rich
There is no way with you I'd switch
I am proud and standing tall
In my life I have it all
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't doubt you, no one does
Though I don't need to make a fuss
I might not have all your wealth
But I am thankful for my health
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way you live is very plain
And this would drive me insane
In my life I'll never strive
Nor need to work from nine to five
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I might not have all your thrills
And need to work to pay my bills
Although each week my pay is spent
With my life I am content
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I laugh so much I have to cry
With just your thin slice of pie
And what you earn in a year
Is only change for my cashier
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I never hold a grudge
But unlike you, I don't judge
And if this is all that you can see
You're living in a fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're just jealous I've got it made
I bet you wish that you could trade
And I know if you could choose
You'd swap with me to wear my shoes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're so wrong but I respect
It's your jealousy that I detect
With everything you have on show
There's still one thing you'll never know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have to smirk with your thought
But there's not one thing that can't be bought
What ever I'm craving or wanting near
I just click my fingers to appear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you can have all the above
Then I wonder why you've not found love?
You're saying you can pick and choose
Then why with love do you always lose?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a joke! Are you keeping score?
It's so obvious that I had more
Nor do I settle for just one
I bet your 'love' isn't this much fun
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I am devoted to my wife
And holding hands we share a life
No need to put her on a chart
My highs are felt within my heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But is this the way you want to live?
Where you hardly take and just give
At least with me, the next day
There's not a chance that she would stay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you only knew just what you miss
And how love feels when we kiss
Love works wonders and has a plan
You'll soon find out as a lonely man
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I guess I will find out then
But for now I'll say they are my friends
I don't even know all their names
It's not needed when you play these games
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sorry but love is calling me
My beautiful wife on the balcony
Her lure leading me other there
To a romantic meal we'll both share
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I might have the grandest house
So why do I feel like a mouse?
He's right, with love, I can't seem to choose
And I'll trade it all to wear his shoes...
