You say you're tired of her and you found a faster life
You're having trouble going home to her when you get out of work at night
You say you're dining out with friends won't be in till late
While she sits home with the children you feathered and tolerates

Now wasn't that the same little gal you swore a while back
You'd spend your whole life through
Shortly after that didn't she hang it up for life to marry you
Hey are you afraid that the boys at the office will no longer call you stud
Well secretary's an alligator shoes got in your blood

Better mind your better homes and gardens and take the kids out too
And take her home some candy and say baby I love you
Now I'm not saying that she'll forgive or even make amends
But you're bout half smart and you better start and that might just get ya back in

Have you heard that that door swings both ways my friend she can be just as gone
The best deal you ever had you ever had you ever had is waitin' right there at home
You say you're gettin' caught up early you're cheated out of life
Well you also said that you'd be a millionaire but the time you're twenty-five

Don't make it better mind your better homes and gardens take the kids to the Zoo
Spend the day with the PTA she might think that's cool
No I'm not saying that she'll forgive and let you right back in her world
She ain't gonna flip but you've got it licked if she smiles cause she's a good ole girl

Better mind your better homes and gardens take the kids out too
And take her home some flowers and say baby I love you
