Recipe For Marriage (on The Rocks) Lyrics - Norma Jean

Take a husband who enjoys other women take a wife that's left alone a lot 

Take a paycheck that's been all spent on liquior 

That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks 

See a wife that's starvin' for his lovin' 

He takes for granted the best things life has got 

Take his whiskey and mix it with my teardrops 

That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks 

[ steel ] 

He can nightspot that's got too fast us women 

And you'll find him hangin' round there like as not 

He don't know what's inside that glass he's holdin' 

That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks 

See a wife that's starvin'... 

That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks
