ballad of a lonely housewife Lyrics

They say behind every great man

His wife stays, encased, in a glass jar, so still

Cooks his dinner and quilts

She becomes the soil he blooms from

Wonders why he left her out in the cold

Once she starts growing old

They say its a fact, why you stand where you stand

Six feet below, waiting for a strong hand

To take pity

I'll be faithful, codependent and

Honest, modest, like my daddy taught me

How a woman should be

Dainty, pretty, speaks when spoken to

Laughs when all your college friends make a pass

Stares outside of the glass

They say that you need him to drag you out of the dirt

But haven't you wondered who put you there first?

They'll say it's such a pity, and oh what a waste

A nice girl like you who just doesn't know her place

What a shame

I'll be your token gun

I'll take the fall and watch you run

Sacrifice every thing and one

For you, my man, I'll always love

I'll be your token gun

I'll take the fall and watch you run

Sacrifice every thing and one

For you, my man, I'll always love

I'll be your token gun

I'll take the fall and watch you run

Sacrifice every thing and one

For you, my man, I'll always love

I'll be your token gun

I'll take the fall and watch you run

Sacrifice every thing and one

For you, my man, I'll always love
