Dear Future Husband Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Shr78 

Cover art for Dear Future Husband lyrics by Meghan Trainor

This is a laundry list of what she expects from her door-mat, er, "husband". It is incredibly one sided as she has a wide variety of expectations from him, but she will not give nothing in return.

What she expects is:

  • him to cook for her (So don't be thinking I'll be home and baking apple pies, I never learned to cook)

  • him to put up with her regardless. This is mentioned three! times in the song. (You gotta know how to treat me like a lady, Even when I'm acting crazy)

  • she will withhold love unless he appeases her (Tell me I'm beautiful each and every night; And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right; Open doors for me and you might get some kisses)

  • she expects her husband to apologize even if she is in the wrong (After every fight, Just apologize; Even if I was wrong)

  • she expects him to agree with everything she says, he is not allowed to have opinions (You know I'm never wrong, Why disagree?)

  • he is expected to be at her beck and call. (Make time for me, Don't leave me lonely; Open doors for me and you might get some kisses)

  • she feels that her family is more important than his (And know we'll never see your family more than mine)

Meghan is saying she will be lazy, manipulative and highly inconsiderate to anything her husband may want in the relationship. She wants everything yet will not be giving anything in return. The relationship with her husband will be incredibly one sided.
