[00:14.0] She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
[00:21.0] She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
[00:27.0] When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
[00:34.0] She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
[00:40.0] She does the car-pool, she PTAs
[00:47.0] Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
[00:54.0] When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
[01:00.0] And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
[01:07.0] Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
[01:14.0] Spit and polish till it shines. He thinks he'll keep her
[01:20.0] Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
[01:27.0] God forbid you change your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
[01:39.0] She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
[01:46.0] With no expression upon her face
[01:53.0] When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
[01:59.0] She said I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore
[02:06.0] Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
[02:13.0] Spit and polish till it shines. He thinks he'll keep her
[02:19.0] Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
[02:26.0] God forbid you change your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
[02:45.0] For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
[02:52.0] Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
[02:58.0] Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
[03:05.0] Spit and polish till it shines. He thinks he'll keep her
[03:12.0] Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
[03:18.0] At least until you change your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
[03:51.0]
[03:52.0]
