[Chorus]

Things take twice as long

Things cost twice as much

But it's your touch that

Makes life twice as nice

'Cause it's your touch that

Makes life twice as nice

[Verse 1]

Wake up in the am, time to get dressed

Am ready for a full plate, I must confess

My lady still dreaming in the comfy of her nest

Probably stayed up late again as I slept

Lest I be behind on a scheduled quest

Into town what awaits, only one way to find out

Let’s, and that means us as in we

You and I as a tandem, a beautiful team

So I try to bring her back to ground lеvel

Low blood pressure and what not

And what thе blood clot she turns into a cling devil

Curled in a blanket, a full case of baskets

The only way to counter is sunshine

An eye drop like medicine, one time

Open up the curtains hallelujah nice day

I can sense a growl fired my way, so I say

[Chorus]

Things take twice as long

Things cost twice as much

But it's your touch that

Makes life twice as nice

'Cause it's your touch that

Makes life twice as nice

[Verse 2]

Are you set to go, take an extra hour

For a shower from head to toe

So, so clean in the bathrobe

Time to pick a wardrobe, gotta coordinate

Pierce on the earlobes

One of a kind, impossible to copy

The same plush mix of futuristic vintage

Brush off the dust, spiffy like mintage

Opens the mirror, simple or lavish

Make-up in progress bar in percentage

I gotta be patient or else, I can risk getting

Stuck on a color wheel spinning like a film reel

Worst case scenario force quit the app yo

Don't wanna let that get into the middle of

Having a blast in the afternoon and be a snub

Don't wanna let this get into the middle of

I can let it go when you show me a little love

[Chorus]

Things take twice as long

Things cost twice as much

But it's your touch that

Makes life twice as nice

'Cause it's your touch that

Makes life twice as nice

[Verse 3]

Forget I said twice, it could've been thrice

The only thing that matters is I'm paying the price

But the prize won is worth more than ever before

An a for an effort, but por favor

Trust that I'm in it for the long haul

Understand I can withstand the onslaught

Of attacks on my character, your own flaws

I can swallow 'em raw like a coleslaw

I'm lost without your expertise, you know

I'm a teenage boy in front of your striptease

Days seem twice as long without you

In a sense that I can't stop thinking about you

I've already written letters flattering my better half

My other half just wants to see you laugh

As for now this poem will suffice

I said twice as nice, 'cause of the sacrifice
