Lyrics

Your feeling down and your feeling blue
You have so many things that you have  to do
There never seems to be enough time
You work from morning till the sun don t shine
Chorus
You wonder how it ever came to this
You'd trade your life for a passionate kiss
What you would give just to hold his hand
This thing called marriage aunt it grand
Verse
You wash those closes
And you cook his meals
You wonder if he even knows how this feels
To be so tired that you just can't  think
Those plates have eyes in the kitchen sink
Verse
Then he comes home at a quarter past four
You pray to god he don't ask for more
What you would give for just a little break
The kids are home
And the dinner's late,
Chorus
You wonder how it ever came to this
You'd trade your life for a passionate kiss
What you would give just to hold his hand
This thing called marriage aunt it grand
Verse
The end of day is finally near
He fell asleep with a glass of beer
You see a man who you once loved
You pray for help from up above
Chorus
The night is still as y
oh lay in bed
You think of things that he could have said
Why did the romance have to end
Once was a  husband is now a friend
Verse
You lay exhausted from the day
You close your eyes and you start to pray
You hope for strength
From up above
Gone is your friend
Gone is the love
Chorus
You wonder how it ever came to this
You'd trade your life for a passionate kiss
What you would give just to hold his hand
This thing called marriage ain't it grand
This thing called marriage ain't it grand
