He Thinks He'll Keep Her

She makes his coffee, she makes his bed,
she does the laundry, she keeps him fed,
when she was twenty one she wore her mothers lace
she said forever with a smile upon her face.
She does the car pool, she PTA's
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
when she was twenty nine she delivered number three,
and every Christmas card showed a prefect family...

Everything runs right on time,
years of practise and design,
spit and polish till it shines,
(he thinks he'll keep her)
everything is so benign,safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you'd change your mind,
(he thinks he'll keep her)

She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits,
with no expression upon her face,
when she was thirty six she met him at the door,
she said "I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore"

Everything runs right on time,
years of practise and design,
spit and polish till it shines,
(he thinks he'll keep her)
everything is so benign,safest place you'll ever find,
God forbid you'll change your mind,
(he thinks he'll keep her)

For fifteen years she's had a job,
without one raise in pay,
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage.

Everything runs right on time,
years of practise and design,
spit and polish till it shines,
(he thinks he'll keep her)
everything is so benign,safest place you'll ever find,
That's until you change your mind
(he thinks he'll keep her)
