If You Want to be Happy For the Rest of Your Life

There is this song, by the 1950’s R & B group called The Coasters, called “Get An Ugly Girl to Marry You”.
 

(Partial Lyrics below)
 
I asked a girl what did the song mean, and she told me that beautiful women are trouble and they tend to cheat. I then asked her if she was a cheater or is she ugly. She was in shock as she froze and had no clue how to answer.
 
 
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
 
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
 
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
Ah you’ll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
She’ll always give you peace of mind
 
Don’t let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don’t match
Take it from me, she’s a better catch
 
Say man! Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah? Yeah, an’ she’s ugly!
Yeah, she’s ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!
 
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
