Will You Still Love, When I Don't Love You

when I don't love you?
I sure hope you do.
It would be an ego boost.
When I leave you, will you still be true,
phone me up every night,
ask me if I'm eating right?
Cause I can't stay with you,
I've got other things to do,
but while I'm away
it sure would be great if you would wait for me
cherish my memory keep my picture by your bed
remember all the things I said.
And you know if you would it would make me look good
and everyone would say he's quite a guy.
I hate working it's so stupid.
I'd much rather not have to do it.
If you really love me honey get another job
and send me the money.
If people knew that I could make you do that
then everyone would say he's quite a guy
