| It took a lot of reasoning
|
| Before she got to please him
|
| She made a combination
|
| Of despair and inspiration
|
| A mother and a mistress
|
| A sister to her sisters
|
| A child who hoped her dreams come true
|
| But now she’s only stuck with you
|
| At least she has a home to share
|
| A man who comes to do her hair
|
| A garden with a patio
|
| A place to have a barbecue
|
| The envy of her neighbors
|
| Who smile and wave and ask her
|
| If they could live for just a day
|
| In luxury and ecstasy
|
| But it’s a long way home
|
| From where she’s come
|
| And it’s a long way back
|
| Too much to ask
|
| The trash is in the garbage can
|
| The mystery of wonderland
|
| One day she thinks of leaving him
|
| The next she treats him like a king
|
| She hears it on the radio
|
| She sees it on the video
|
| She wait s until the kids have grown
|
| And then she thinks she’ll start again
|
| But it’s a long way home
|
| From where she’s come
|
| And it’s a long way back
|
| Too much to ask
|
| Before she gave her friends a ring
|
| She promised almost everything
|
| They ran away to paradise
|
| But everything will have its price
|
| From woman number one
|
| To woman number two
|
| Now she’s woman number three
|
| And she thinks that she’s lucky
|
| But it’s a long way home
|
| From where where’s come
|
| And it’s a long way back
|
| Too much to ask
|
| From x y z To women iii |
