So please don’t make me mad

It’s hard to make the payments
But keeps a smile on her face
That’s all I do care about
And it keeps me in good grace

Don’t know enough about it
Never took the time to learn
I just know that she liked it
And that’s all that I’m concerned

Opens the ears of the blind
Hearing eyes weeping seeing
All my senses intertwined
