It Works

He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast
 And pours him a glass of tea
 Deep in her heart she believes
 That's the way it should be
 Yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad
 Over one little four-letter word
 He'll tell you fast you don't talk like that around her
 We may not see it the way they see it
 We may not do it the way they do it
 But she lives her life for him
 And he'd gladly die for her
 And even in this modern age, it works
 Though he's been down in his back
 He still jumps out of that sack
 Every mornin' at 5 a.m.
 Having her home with the kids has been worth it to him
 Yeah, and she takes pride in bein' his wife
 And making their house a home
 And sometimes she wishes the world
 Would just leave them alone
 We may not see it the way they see it
 We may not do it the way they do it
 But she lives her life for him
 And he'd gladly die for her
 And even in this modern age, it works
 If the good Lord's willin' there will come a day
 When our children will say
 We may not see it the way they see it
 We may not do it the way they do it
 But she lives her life for him
 And he'd gladly die for her
 And even in this modern age, it works
 And even in this modern age, it works
