about

I thought it was a fun idea to use a pop style like New Jack Swing, which is usually all about seduction and finding new love, in the context of the beautiful mundanity of marriage. And the idea of "introducing" yourself to your spouse as their spouse is funny enough with just enough truth that it was worth taking on as a fun twist on the prompt. And it's not a persona per se; I *am* recently married and that *is* my actual wife with a guest appearance to drop some bars in the bridge, haha. Enjoy!

lyrics

Verse 1

Girl, once upon a time I was smooth
I’d take you out wining dining to impress you

But I’m versatile now that I’ve walked you down the aisle
There’s a new guy who you get to meet
Already swept you off your feet
So pass the broom I’ll sweep the floor
If I’m with you it’s not a chore

Chorus

Pleasure to meet you
You’re lookin at a new man
I’m not your boyfriend
Cuz now I’m your husband, yeah
I am your husband

Verse 2

I swear, if I’m around then you will never
Need to worry bout emptying the dishwasher

And let me tell you all about our joint checking account
And how there’s nothing that is half as fun
As going on a Costco run
Or changing diapers when they stink
Then scouring the bathroom sink

Chorus

Pleasure to meet you
You’re lookin at a new man
I’m not your boyfriend
Cuz now I’m your husband, yeah
I am your husband

Bridge

To be the man that I love, you betta be gettin rid of
All of ya childish and wildest romantic dreams
Wake up familiarize ya self with these domestic machines
Ya queen don’t need a bouquet she needs to spend the whole day

Just relaxin, baskin, in somethin loose-waisted
Home cooked dishes better than she ever tasted
Husband? Okay we made a pact
I need a new man, a true man, and that’s a fact, word

Chorus

Pleasure to meet you
You’re lookin at a new man
I’m not your boyfriend
Cuz now I’m your husband, yeah
I am your husband
