Sandra

She's a great little housewife
 Though sometimes she talks like a fool
 But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
 And she picks up the kids after school
 And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home
 And she changes from mother to wife
 'Til she feels the words hanging between them
 And she hangs by her words to her life
 She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids
 I wanted to be like my mother
 But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
 Oh there might have been time to be me
 For myself, for myself
 There's so many things that she wishes
 She don't even know what she's missin'
 And that's how she knows that she missed
 She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody
 It's hard to get through to her then
 Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
 Oh but that happens now and again
 She might take a drink with the housework
 Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
 A Martini or two before dinner
 But she always knows when to stop
 She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids
 You know I wanted to be like my mother
 But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
 Oh there might have been time to be me
 For myself, for myself
 There's so many things that she wishes
 She don't even know what she's missin'
 And that's how she knows that she missed
 Oh they used to hold hands at the movies
 Now it's seldom if ever they go
 Once you've paid for the sitter and parkin' the car
 There's no money left for the show
 She was doing the dishes
 When a glass fell and broke on the tile
 And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)
 It was real touch and go for a while
 She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids
 You know I wanted to be like my, my mother
 But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
 Oh there might have been time to be me
 For myself, for myself
 There's so many things that she wishes
 She don't even know what she's missin'
 And that's how she knows that she missed
