[00:14.86]She makes his coffee she makes his bed
[00:21.43]She does the laundry she keeps him fed
[00:28.24]When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
[00:34.73]She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
[00:41.30]She does the car-pool she PTAs
[00:47.80]Doctors and dentists she drives all day
[00:54.68]When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
[01:00.99]And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
[01:07.67]Everything runs right on time years of practice and design
[01:14.68]Spit and polish till it shines He thinks he'll keep her
[01:20.86]Everything is so benign safest place you'll ever find
[01:27.73]God forbid you change your mind He thinks he'll keep her

[01:47.20]With no expression upon her face
[01:53.95]When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
[02:00.01]She said I'm sorry I don't love you anymore
[02:06.95]Everything runs right on time years of practice and design
[02:13.95]Spit and polish till it shines He thinks he'll keep her
[02:20.20]Everything is so benign safest place you'll ever find

[02:53.33]Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
[03:00.26]Everything runs right on time years of practice and design
[03:06.64]Spit and polish till it shines He thinks he'll keep her
[03:12.89]Everything is so benign safest place you'll ever find
[03:19.89]At least until you change your mind He thinks he'll keep her
[03:26.08]The End
