Generate meaning
1
She's a great little housewife
2
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
3
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
4
And she picks up the kids after school
5
And she puts down the 'phone
6
When her husband comes home
7
And she changes from mother to wife
8
'Til she feels the words hanging between them
9
And she hangs by her words to her life
10
She says
11
I swear I love my husband
12
I love my kids
13
I wanted to be like my mother
14
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
15
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
16
So many things that she wishes
17
She don't even know what she's missing
18
And that's how she knows that she missed
19
She's a sweetheart except when she's moody
20
It's hard to get through to her then
21
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
22
Ah, but that happens now and again
23
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
24
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
25
A martini or two before dinner
26
But she always knows when to stop
27
She says
28
I swear I love my husband
29
And I love my kids
30
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
31
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
32
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
33
So many things that she wishes
34
She don't even know what she's missing
35
And that's how she knows that she missed
36
Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
37
Now it's seldom, if ever, they go
38
Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car
39
There's no money left for the show
40
She was doing the dishes
41
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
42
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
43
It was real touch and go for a while
44
She says
45
Oh God, I love my husband
46
And I love my kids
47
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
48
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
49
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
50
So many things that she wishes
51
She don't even know what she's missing
52
And that's how she knows that she missed
