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 PTAs
   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)
