How Come?

How Come?


There’re so many things that I don’t understand
Why are there so many issues between woman and man?
I’d give anything to know where this confusion came from
I just wanna know, how come, how come?

How come we call it “no fault”, as if no one’s to blame?
Whoever thought of that, must have been insane
How come it takes two to marry, but only one to end it?
How come we all want a home, but nobody wants to tend it?

How come we’re never content - jumping from bed to bed?
How come we’re not true to the one that we wed?
How come we seem to have given up on romance?
How come we’re not willing to give our marriages a chance?

How come to get divorced, no price is too much-
Attorney’s fees, child support, alimony and such.
How come the new love can get anything that you’ve got?
Time, money, and effort; it’ll cost you a lot.

How come we get advice from folks all over town?
But when your home is destroyed, they’re nowhere to be found.
Why didn’t you see that you had God’s best?
Instead of following the crowd, and getting into this mess?

So, is commitment now a thing of the past?
How come we can’t have marriages that last?
How come we don’t just go to the source?
God ordained marriage, and he hates divorce.
