He Thinks He'll Keep Her

he thinks he ll keep her

歌手：carpenter mary-chapin 专辑：come on come on


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 PTAs
Carpenter Mary-Chapin
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)


95年 grammy 从初中一直听到现在. . . 熟悉的旋律, 只是有点令人伤感.
