He Thinks He'll Keep Her Lyrics

She makes his coffee, she makes his bed

She does the laundry, she keeps him fed

When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace

She said forever with a smile upon her face

She does the carpool, she P.T.A.'s

Doctors and dentists, she drives all day

When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three

And every Christmas card showed a perfect family

CHORUS

Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design

Spit and polish 'til it shines, he thinks he'll keep her

Everything is so benign, the safest place you'll ever find

God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her

She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits

With no expression upon her face

When she was thirty-six she met him at the door

She said I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore

CHORUS

For 15 years she had a job and not one raise in pay

Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage

CHORUS

(At least until you change your mind)
