This song is a commentary on being with a simple woman versus a beautiful high maintenance one. Ever hear "when you're in love with a beautiful woman you gotta watch out" by Dr. Hook. From my read here, most broken hearts speak of beautiful women who are always looking to do better and making drama - you always have to be on your toes and play the DJ game


Lots of truth to it .. don't you think ?


If You Wanna Be Happy For the Rest Of Your Life

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you


A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind


If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
[Sax solo]
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
[Spoken:]
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

Hmmm... I know fat *****es and gorgeous nice girls... That's really not guarantee of anything.
Besides, I cook for myself, I don't need any women for that.

I read from a 12 yr old kid that was presented on CNN.com last year, he said, "Pretty girls are like expensive fast cars. It takes alot of money for gas and maintenance to take care of them."
