Housework |
| I’ve been waiting for you to come through that door, dear |
| Your whereabouts tonight I do not know |
| The house is nice and clean, the wineglasses they gleam |
| The candles on the table cast their glow |
| I finished cooking dinner an hour ago |
| I’ve been listening for the sound of your step, darling |
| Hoping that I hear it on the stair |
| You’ve been gone all day, I hate when you’re away |
| Don’t worry though, I’ve hoovered everywhere |
| Just to prove to you I really |
| I’ve been washing dishes all the live long day |
| I’ve been making wishes; |
| «You'll come home and stay» |
| Don’t worry, sweetheart, I did all the shopping |
| While I was out I dropped off your blouse |
| I paid all the bills and I picked up your pills |
| Mustn’t grumble, no I shouldn’t grouse |
| Your heart’s here though you’re nowhere near this house |
| I’ve been wondering when you’ll come home, baby |
| I’m paranoid you’re with another guy |
| You said I was your man, the bathroom’s spick and span |
| I even cleaned the mirror, that’s no lie |
| As I did a tear came to my |
| I’ve been washing dishes all the live long day |
| I’ve been making wishes; |
| «You'll come home and stay» |
| I pray you haven’t gone and left me, bum fluff |
| If you did, I don’t know what I’d do |
| Herein lies the rub, I even did the tub |
| You treat me like a dog, a worn out shoe |
| I got down on all fours, dear, just for |
| (I've been washing dishes) |
