He don't take her anywhere
His life is such a pleasure
She stays home like a mortar
While he plays his four -hour job
She sits in her mortgage prison
And he's the idol of the mob
But she always tucks the kids in
By half -past nine each night
Then a car pulls in her driveway
and parks without a light
Then a form slips from the shadows
and walks swiftly to her door
Oh, I'm not the one she cheated on
I'm the one she cheated with
She knows slippin' around is wrong
But she must preserve the myth
Of the sweet, shy, simple housewife
And she's got the world convinced
Sins more than she sinned against
She always took the kids in
by half past nine each night.
Then a car pulls in her driveway
and parts without a light.
Then a form slips from the shadows
and walks quickly to her door.
