It took a lot of reasoning
|
Before she got to please him
|
She made a combination
|
Of despair and inspiration
|
A mother and a mistress
|
A sister to her sisters
|
A child who hoped her dreams come true
|
But now she¡¯s only stuck with you
|
|
At least she has a home to share
|
A man who comes to do her hair
|
A garden with a patio
|
A place to have a barbecue
|
The envy of her neighbors
|
Who smile and wave and ask her
|
If they could live for just a day
|
In luxury and ecstasy
|
|
But it¡¯s a long way home
|
From where she's come
|
And it¡¯s a long way back
|
Too much to ask
|
|
The trash is in the garbage can
|
The mystery of wonderland
|
One day she thinks of leaving him
|
The next she treats him like a king
|
She hears it on the radio
|
She sees it on the video
|
She wait s until the kids have grown
|
And then she thinks she¡¯ll start again
|
|
But it¡¯s a long way home
|
From where she's come
|
And it¡¯s a long way back
|
Too much to ask
|
|
Before she gave her friends a ring
|
She promised almost everything
|
They ran away to paradise
|
But everything will have its price
|
From woman number one
|
To woman number two
|
Now she¡¯s woman number three
|
And she thinks that she¡¯s lucky
|
|
But it¡¯s a long way home
|
From where where¡¯s come
|
And it¡¯s a long way back
|
Too much to ask
|
|
From X Y Z
