She's a great little housewife[00:00:12]
Though sometimes she talks like a fool[00:00:15]
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush[00:00:18]
And she picks up the kids after school[00:00:22]
And she puts down the phone[00:00:27]
When her husband comes home[00:00:29]
And she changes from mother to wife[00:00:32]
'Til she feels the words hanging between them[00:00:37]
And she hangs by her words to her life[00:00:42]
She says I swear I love my husband[00:00:47]
I love my kids[00:00:53]
I wanted to be like my mother[00:00:56]
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did[00:00:59]
Oh there might have been time to be me[00:01:03]
For myself[00:01:07]
There's so many things that she wishes[00:01:10]
She don't even know what she's missin'[00:01:14]
And that's how she knows that she missed[00:01:18]
She's a sweetheart except when she's moody[00:01:35]
It's hard to get through to her then[00:01:38]
Depressed for a while[00:01:41]
When the youngest was born[00:01:43]
Oh but that happens now and again[00:01:45]
She might take a drink with the housework[00:01:48]
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop[00:01:52]
A Martini or two before dinner[00:01:56]
But she always knows when to stop[00:02:02]
She says I swear I love my husband[00:02:06]
And I love my kids[00:02:11]
Wanted to be like my mother[00:02:14]
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did[00:02:17]
Oh there might have been time to be me[00:02:22]
For myself[00:02:25]
There's so many things that she wishes[00:02:28]
She don't even know what she's missin'[00:02:32]
And that's how she knows that she missed[00:02:36]
Oh they used to hold hands at the movies[00:02:57]
Now it's seldom if ever they go[00:03:00]
Once you've paid for the sitter[00:03:04]
And parkin' the car[00:03:07]
There's no money left for the show[00:03:09]
She was doing the dishes[00:03:13]
When a glass fell and broke on the tile[00:03:17]
And she cut her wrist quite by mistake[00:03:22]
It was real touch and go for a while[00:03:28]
I sewar I love my husband[00:03:34]
Love my kids[00:03:39]
Wanted to be like my mother[00:03:41]
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did[00:03:45]
Oh there might have been time to be me[00:03:49]
For myself[00:03:53]
There's so many things that she wishes[00:03:56]
She don't even know what she's missin'[00:04:00]
And that's how she knows that she missed[00:04:04]
That she missed[00:04:11]
