Lyrics

verse1) it was you for rest of his life and claimed that he wanted to share/ and he showered you expensive gifts to replace to love that wasn't there/ and he promised you'd live in a mansion and you dreamed of a butler and a maid/ never once did you imagine that you'd work for him without ever being paid....(CHO.) but you married for money, you should have held out for love, do you ever ask yourself what the hell you were thinking of, you never should have moved into the mansion you should have kept on paying rent, but you married for the money baby, now your gonna earn every cent ! verse 2) now your days are overloaded with dirty laundry and polishing shoes/ and dont forget you gotta feed him and listen to him whine his blues/ now hurry to sweep and dust but not before you vacum/ and before he gets home ,honey you better be well groomed (CHO.)....Verse 3) now when you look back were your days with me really so bad/ well i did not have very much but i gave you every thing that i had/ and the dollars were few but the love that we had made us rich/ do you finally see now my girl that you better be careful for what you wish...(CHO.)
