Don't Treat Me like Your Valentine

Janet Roof
Don't treat me like your valentine

When all the year you moan and whine

Working day through night on end

Making time for just your friends

Kind when you need food to eat

Or me to rub your stinky feet

There's thank you grins on laundry day

But not if there are bills to pay

No dinner wine, no fine champagne

Just move your head, I'm watching the game

Anniversary, never heard of that

It's no wonder why I got so fat

So don't treat me like your valentine

When now your forced to find the time
