|

|
| Her dreams and fears and wishes and her hopes
|
| Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
|
| For she’s a TV wife with a TV life
|
| From early in the morning 'til late at night
|
| Your dreams are your visions and your lacks of strife
|
| But everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
|
| TV wife, TV wife
|
| By mid-afternoon the shows have progressed
|
| And anchors all the characters of who she’s obsessed
|
| This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
|

|

|
| Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
