| She’s got dinner on the table at seven
|
| The kids are tucked in bed by nine-fifteen
|
| And she’s headed for a hotel at eleven
|
| To meet a man her family’s never seen.
|
| As the elevator takes her to her lover
|
| She thinks about his wife at home asleep
|
| And she knows it must be painful to discover
|
| That the man you love’s not always yours to keep.
|
| Well, she’s one man’s bride
|
| And she’s one man’s on the side
|
| She wonders why it takes two men
|
| To keep her satisfied.
|
| She’s a hard workin' house-wife
|
| Right now she’s occupied
|
| She’s one man’s woman
|
| And one man’s on the side
|
| Yes, she’s one man’s woman
|
| And one man’s on the side.
|
| She thinks about her husband when it’s over
|
| But she justifies her love affair somehow
|
| She knows it can’t go on like this forever
|
| But she takes it all from day to day for now. |
