Lyrics
You know she has a golf cart with Mag wheels and stereo
There's an S-Class in the driveway with Dual Inline Turbo
See the Jet Ski on the trailer, it's Fire Engine Red
I bet she's got a dozen hand-made pillows on the bed
When I see you leave the house at quarter after four
It's another banner day for some local retail store
When I'm out trimming bushes, I see Philippe cut the lawn
And Eva's with the kids every day from seven on
Made service comes every Thursday afternoon
And all the local restaurants, well they think she hung the moon
When I see you leave the house at quarter after three
I have to wonder why you bothered to get that degree
Never misses Gym class, goes three days a week
Nails get done on Tuesdays cause by then they really need it
Fridays at the day spa where she meets her girlfriend Liz
Not sure she even knows what her real hair color is
When I see you leave the house at a quarter after two
I often stop to wonder, just what is it you do?
FedEx man leaves the boxes at the front door in a stack
Pool service man, he always parks around the back
When Neal cleans the car she lets him do it in the drive
When the groomer trims the dog she makes him do it all outside
When I see you leave the house at a quarter after one
I just have to stop and wonder, is it really that much fun?
To live a life of leisure at the age of 35
I'm not sure just how you even know that you're alive
To some I'm sure she's all they think they'd ever hope to be
But I don't think a life like that would ever work for me
When I see you leave the house at quarter after noon
I just have to stop and wonder just what is it you do?
I guess a trip to Nordstrom is a way to kill some time
Before the next appointment or the day's first glass of wine
But surely there is something that she really wants to do?
Besides another pant suit and another pair of shoes
When I see you leave the house at quarter after two
I just have to stop and wonder just what is it you do?
