He Thinks He'll Keep Her
Album: Mary Chapin Carpenter he essential
Durasi: 3:59
[00:03.95]She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
[00:20.66]She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
[00:27.22]When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
[00:33.89]She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
[00:40.43]She does the car-pool, she PTAs
[00:47.15]Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
[00:53.64]When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
[01:00.68]And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
[01:07.03]Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
[01:13.62]Spit and polish 'til it shines. He thinks he'll keep her
[01:20.25]Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
[01:27.00]God forbid you change your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
[01:39.98]She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
[01:46.37]With no expression upon her face
[01:53.12]When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
[02:00.33]She said I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore
[02:06.42]Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
[02:13.22]Spit and polish 'til it shines. He thinks he'll keep her
[02:20.09]Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
[02:26.31]God forbid you change your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
[02:45.23]For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
[02:52.27]Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
[02:59.35]Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
[03:05.62]Spit and polish 'til it shines. He thinks he'll keep her
[03:12.12]Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
[03:18.98]At least until you change your mind. He thinks he'll keep her alright
