| It starts up in the morning when the kids are at school
 | 
| Hubby’s just forbidden by the home of his poo
 | 
| She walks across the room and she turns on the set
 | 
| Every show is memorized, she can’t forget
 | 
| Early morning quiz is essential to watch
 | 
| Would I win a car or a bottle of scotch
 | 
| All that she can do is sit home and stare
 | 
| And hope that there she gets a chance to go on the air
 | 
| 'Cause she’s a TV wife with a TV life
 | 
| From early in the morning 'til late at night
 | 
| 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
 | 
| And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth
 | 
| Hubby’s home and dinner’s on the wine or TV
 | 
| Well, the news is on and it’s just too impossible, you see
 | 
| After twenty tumors, fifteen rapes and countless affairs
 | 
| I can’t watch the news, it’s too gross, she declares
 | 
| A TV wife with a TV life
 | 
| From early in the morning 'til late at night
 | 
| Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your hopes
 | 
| Are all being sued by a handful of soaps
 | 
| I said 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
 | 
| Everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
 | 
| TV wife, TV wife
 | 
| Well, by mid-afternoon you know the shows have progressed
 | 
| And anchors all the characters with whom you’re obsessed
 | 
| This was dying, that was married, this one gave birth
 | 
| And the hunters nowhere took we found on this planet Earth
 | 
| Makeups all the cookings on a when it’s time for bed
 | 
| The TV guide is alma for but nothing is said
 | 
| Will it be a late night movie starring Greer Garson
 | 
| Or Joey Fisher filling in for airing Johnny Carson
 | 
| A TV wife with a TV life
 | 
| From early in the morning 'til late at night
 | 
| Your dreams and your fears and your wishes and your 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
 | 
| And everybody turns you to TV wife, everybody turns you to TV wife
 | 
| TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, TV wife, wooh |
