He Thinks He`ll Keep Her — текст песни (Carpenter Mary-Chapin)

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 carpool, she P.T.A.`s
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
CHORUS
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish `til it shines, he thinks he`ll keep her
Everything is so benign, the safest place you`ll ever find
God forbid you`d 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 the door
She said I`m sorry, I don`t love you anymore
CHORUS
For 15 years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now she`s in the typing pool at minimum wage
CHORUS
(At least until you change your mind)
