Sandra-Barry Manilow[00:00:01]
She's a great little housewife[00:00:19]
Though sometimes she talks like a fool[00:00:21]
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush[00:00:25]
And she picks up the kids after school[00:00:29]
And she puts down the phone[00:00:33]
When her husband comes home[00:00:35]
And she changes from mother to wife[00:00:37]
'Til she feels the words hanging between them[00:00:41]
And she hangs by her words to her life[00:00:45]
She says I swear I love my husband [00:00:49]
I love my kids[00:00:56]
I wanted to be like my mother[00:01:00]
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did[00:01:04]
Oh there might have been time to be me[00:01:08]
For myself for myself[00:01:12]
There's so many things that she wishes[00:01:17]
She don't even know what she's missin'[00:01:21]
And that's how she knows that she missed[00:01:26]
She's a sweetheart except when she's moody[00:01:35]
It's hard to get through to her then[00:01:43]
Depressed for a while[00:01:47]
When the youngest was born[00:01:49]
Oh but that happens now and again[00:01:51]
She might take a drink with the housework[00:01:53]
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop[00:01:59]
A Martini or two before dinner[00:02:02]
But she always knows when to stop[00:02:06]
She says I swear I love my husband[00:02:11]
And I love my kids[00:02:17]
You know I wanted to be like my mother[00:02:21]
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did[00:02:24]
Oh there might have been time to be me[00:02:29]
For myself for myself[00:02:32]
There's so many things that she wishes[00:02:37]
She don't even know what she's missin'[00:02:40]
And that's how she knows that she missed[00:02:44]
Oh they used to hold hands at the movies[00:02:49]
Now it's seldom if ever they go[00:03:03]
Once you've paid for the sitter[00:03:06]
And parkin' the car[00:03:09]
There's no money left for the show[00:03:11]
She was doing the dishes[00:03:14]
When a glass fell and broke on the tile[00:03:19]
And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)[00:03:23]
It was real touch and go for a while[00:03:30]
She says Oh God I love my husband[00:03:35]
And I love my kids[00:03:40]
You know I wanted to be like my my mother[00:03:42]
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did[00:03:47]
Oh there might have been time to be me[00:03:51]
For myself for myself[00:03:55]
There's so many things that she wishes[00:03:59]
She don't even know what she's missin'[00:04:04]
And that's how she knows that she missed[00:04:07]
