Song Description

Unhappy housewife, husband wondering why

Lyrics

Verse: What's the matter darlin'? Won't you please just talk to me? Tell me why you're blue; instead of sittin' staring out the window like lately you do. Have you lost your zest for living, have none of your dreams come true? Have you found you're never going to keep the house clean? Is that what's wrong with you?
Bridge: I can't read your mind babe and I'm sorry if it's me, and that all those years ago when we started our married life you could not forsee:
Chorus: Life's rewards are skimpy, lest they can come from your mind. even with lots of money, honey there's always they grind. It's just day after day in the same old routine. You've got to make it fun, and hope for your rest in Heaven from the housework, that's never all done.
Bridge: If you need to go out on your own, the kids and me will get by. Guess you just hooked up with me before you knew you'd need to spread your wings and fly so:
Verse: Take some savings and take a car. Yeah it'll be hard. But we can't love if you can't smile, you can come back after a while; when you see, when you see:
Repeat chorus:
Tag: Yeah hope for your rest in Heaven; from the housework that's never all done.
