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

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
