Not Today
Did I ever once believe this day would come
Did I ever once expect the worst
Did I every dream that I could feel this way

Dios Mia no this is the first
I'm a Latin man Latin men are smart
Everything we do is muy sincere
Leading with a sword as mush as with a heart
Never once are we prepared to hear

Not today
She spat in my face
Not today
Not even second base
Not today
The words I hear her say
Not today Not today Not today

Guests arrive and suddenly she’s lost the spark
Dancing doesn't fan the woman's muse
Give me fifteen minutes fumbling in the dark
I would hand polish the coffees shoes

I have heard of women who refuse their men
Queens with dull routines who take a vow
Later they’re beheaded like a
God was no one there to show them how
Not today
I'm dancing on my own
Not today
A dog with half a bone
Not today
I'll bury it and pray
Not today not today not today

Ohhhhhh I feel humiliated
Soooooo below decaffinated
Ohhhhhh I've never mastered being scorned
Though you say you're feeling tired
Noooo I'll do what's yet required
Goooo my dearest wife but be forewarned

When you least expect it I'll be kind to you
Look the other way I’ll bring a rose
Like a deep sea barnacle I’ll bind to you
Following wherever darkness grows
Shout that I'm the reason you refuse to dance
Scream that I’m a monster to the core
If my darling you brag but a second chance
Dancing won't be all you're screaming for

Not today
Impossible but true
Not today
But was it good for you
Not today
I'll do what I must do
Is this the moment where I turn a little grey
Is this the moment where I
Is this the moment where my marriage vows decay
NO
Not today
Not today
