Housewife

Well, you're stranded in the kitchen
The kids are gone to school
So, so hard to follow all the rulesp
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?
Darlin', 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 asking, 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
