Would you wake up on the hour,
get the kids up,
get them ready,
do the washin up,
press their clothes,
get them dressed,
plait their hair,
cook breakfast.
run them all to school,
go home and tidy up,
the mess around the house,
while i don’t give a fuck,
could you handle roles reversed?
[chorus]
well, could you live the life for me?
could you raise a family?
and would still have time for us?
would you argue, fight and fuss?
Would you blow up my phone,
and ask if i’d come home,
tell you i’m handling bizz,
and that’s the way the thug lives,
go in at two or three,
slap you for questioning me,
could you hide the tears that i cry,
and ask yourself oh why?
You can pay the bills,
and all the credit cars,
you can pay the rent,
with all the money spent,
could you handle roles reversed?
[chorus x2]
well, could you live the life for me?
could you raise a family?
and would still have time for us?
would you argue, fight and fuss?
Imagine if i never told you i loved you,
would you stay or would you go?
imagine if i never told you i loved you,
would you stay or would you go?
imagine if i never told you i loved you,
would you stay or would you go?
imagine if i never told you i loved you,
would you stay or would you go?
[chorus x2]
well, could you live the life for me?
could you raise a family?
and would still have time for us?
would you argue, fight and fuss?
