altar of love

she was his high school sweetheart

'til death do them part

wife of so many years

been through blood sweat and tears

she raises his kids

while he went out and did

all of those things a successful man does

he always works late

determines his own fate

he's found his true match

he's found his soul mate

sorry he says

sorry he feels

can't help himself he fell head over heels

and now she's another wife and a mother

sacrificed on the alter of love

she's just another wife and a mother

earning her righteous place up above

beautiful stranger

she's so enthralled

she hangs on every word

makes him feel like god

pleads with his dear wife

but she's heard it all twice

with stars in his eyes

it's true love! he cries

and now she's another

wife and a mother

sacrificed on the alter of love

she's just another wife and a mother

earning her righteous place up above
