She makes his coffee
She makes his bed
She does the laundry
She keeps him fed
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
She does the car-pool
She PTAs
Doctors and dentists
She drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
Everything runs right on time
Years of practice 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 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 their door
She said, "I'm sorry"
"I don't love you anymore"
Everything runs right on time
Years of practice 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 change your mind
{He Thinks He'll Keep Her}
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
Everything runs right on time
Years of practice and design
Spit and polish 'till it shines
{He Thinks He'll Keep Her}
Everything is so benign
Safest place you'll ever find
At least until you change your mind
{He Thinks He'll Keep Her}
Alright
