He Thinks Hell Keep Her Lyrics by Mary Chapin Carpenter

He Thinks Hell Keep Her Lyrics

    (mary chapin carpenter/don schlitz)

    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 car-pool, 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
    Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
    Spit and polish till it shines. he thinks he'll keep her
    Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
    God forbid you 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 their door
    She said i'm sorry, i don't love you anymore
    Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
    Spit and polish till it shines. he thinks he'll keep her
    Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
    God forbid you change your mind. he thinks he'll keep her
    For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
    Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
    Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
    Spit and polish till it shines. he thinks he'll keep her
    Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
    At least until you change your mind. he thinks he'll keep her
