Lyrics Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend

Don't Try To Make Me Real

{Alright, Lonnie, Junior, the band, the girls and I

We're gonna do it a little song for you now, a little Mac Rise number

Hey, all you married men, if you're tied up, you better stay tied up

Because it's cheaper to keep her}

It's cheaper to keep her

It is cheaper to keep her

When your little girl make you mad

You get an attitude and pack your bag

Five little children that you're leaving behind

You're gonna pay some alimony or do some time

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

See when you get to staring that judge in the face

You're gonna wanna cuss the whole human race

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

Too much to leave that little girl

(It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper

It's cheaper, cheaper, cheaper, cheaper, yeah

You didn't pay for two dollars to bring the girl home

Now you're about to pay two thousand to leave alone

See another woman out there, you wanna make a change

She ain't gonna watch 'cause you won't have a damn thing

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

Cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

The time you get to looking that judge in the face

You gonna wanna cuss the whole human race

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

Cost too much to leave

(It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, cheaper, cheaper

Cheaper, cheaper, cheaper, yeah

If you decide to roam and leave your happy home

You gotta pay the house note

The child support, your insurance

Alimony, mortgage one, mortgage two

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her
