Should we tell you what we want?
What we really, really want?
A helping hand when we require. Yes, even in the household chores
Why we were assigned them at birth, nobody really knows.
Y'all seem the best hosts when you go out of your way to serve guests
But it's in the daily deeds and the people who know you that you need to impress.
We don't deserve condescension. Don't command, demand, expect or order
Talk with us, not at us. Would a simple request be too much of a bother?
Spend time with the children. You know, they're yours too.
To know and to cherish and not just to brag about others to.
We're not just better or worse halves. We do make a whole on our own.
When given the opportunity, more than the brightest stars we've shone!
Flowers and gifts are beautiful. But those won't change our lives
What we need is respect as equals, when that happens it will truly be a beautiful surprise.
