Perfect Wife

PERFECT WIFE A perfect little wife A perfect loving life He slaps me in the face I don’t feel disgrace. As long as he comes home And doesn’t choose to roam Then I will toe the line And all will be just fine. I’m not the perfect wife I can get out of hand He’s the love of my life You have to understand. We have so much invested In our life together. He’s so very special I’ll never find another. It’s not his fault What is going on. It’s not his fault I egged him on. It’s not his fault I burned his dinner. It’s not his fault I should have known better. A perfect little wife A perfect loving life He slaps me in the face I don’t feel disgrace. As long as he comes home And doesn’t choose to roam Then I will toe the line And all will be just fine. When he’s sweet He’s the love of my life. He’s the perfect husband For such a screwed up wife When he’s angry He’s not the same. It’s all my fault; He’s not to blame. A perfect little wife A perfect loving life He slaps me in the face I don’t feel disgrace. As long as he comes home And doesn’t choose to roam Then I will toe the line And all will be just fine.
