HousewifeWell you're stranded in the kitchenThe kids are gone to school It's oh so hard to follow all the rules The children got their friends, your husband's playing cards And all that housework seems so hard Forgotten in the bedroom as you listen to him sleep You lay down in the night light crying Too scared to take a lover Too much in love to cheat And you think about your life out on the street Well the housewife is a hard life Long days and lonely nights Yes a housewife is a hard life Darling I'm thinking of you tonight What about the dream that never never will come true Darling no one knows that special person that's trapped inside of you You're waiting for tomorrow, you hope he'll notice you And all the special little things you do for him 'Cause all you really ask is some real security And a honeymoon that never ends Remember when we were friends But it seems he's always working or out there with the boys You're always sitting home without a choice The kids are having nightmares that daddy's gone away So you send them down to Grandma's house to stay Well the housewife is a hard life Long days and long and lonely nights Yes a housewife is a hard life But I'm thinking of you tonight As you sit there listening I'm thinking of you tonight |
