Famous quotes by Jerry Butler:

"Coach White was real persistent."

"People who think they attract mosquitoes are the ones at largest risk of mosquito-borne disease. They'll have a hundred mosquitoes feed on them when a normally repellent person might have five. It's that kind of ratio."

"Undoubtedly, mosquitoes have preferences. People do differ, and in any group of 10, one person will be fed on more than others."

"The traffic, follow the traffic. When you see a lot of traffic at a place, that means cheaper gas."

"The seniors here are about pushing you and motivating you to get better. They're not about, 'You're a freshman trying to take my job.' If you can play, they're going to push you to get better. Right now, I'm learning and they're helping."

"You use what talent God gave you, but I have to learn how to control my speed,"

"McNabb has always been nonchalant about everything; thinking things will just go away, but things just don't go away,"

"No matter what sport, even Little League (baseball), I was always the smallest player on the team, ... I don't think size matters that much in football. It's all about your heart and instincts."

"That really wasn't what I wanted to do, since I hadn't played defensive back in high school. Some people didn't care how big I was because I was so fast."

"We expect that probably 25 percent of the pumps in the state are mechanical pumps."

Need To Belong
Jerry Butler
Wo oh oh oh (need to belong) yeah, (to someone)

I wanna be kissed and held tight
want to be missed on a cold lonely night
somebody hear my plea and call out to me, cause

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
no one cares for me, I've never known sympathy
I hide my needs from the world with a smile
but understand, I'm only a man and a man

A man hates to be known as no one

MOODY WOMAN
Jerry Butler
I get the feeling that you really miss me
Oh, I love you when you hug and jkiss me
And look at me like I'm buggin' you honey
Girl, I can't stand it when you start acting funny
Oh moody woman you change like the weather
Moody woman but you got it together
Moody, moody, moody woman I love you
Oh variety is the spice of life
Yes the pain makes the pleasure nice
You bet your life I do
You make my day when you say you need me
But that's no way to play when you say you're gonna leave me
Moody woman, oh I love you
Moody woman I think the world of you
Moody, moody, moody woman I love you
You bet your life I do
You know you can girl
Oh baby you could be impossibly smart
But I know you love me
You think the world of me
and you got a great big heart
People tell me that love's blind
There ain't no love as blind as mine
And though I have to suffer when you're feeling blue
Oh moody woman I know all about you
My life would be much tougher if I didn't have you
Moody woman can't live without you
Moody, moody, moody woman I love you
You bet your life I do
Oh moody woman yo know I love you
Moody woman I don't want to leave you
Moody woman I think the world of you
You have been my whole life

HEY, WESTERN UNION MAN
Jerry Butler
Oh western union man
Send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram
This is what I want you to do
Who, send a telegram to my baby
Tell her I'm in misery
I want you to tell her that I'm all alone
I tried to call her on the phone
And think she's avoiding me
And if the telegram don't do
Send a box of candy too
And maybe some flowers
Tell her that I missed her for hours and hours
Send a telegram man
Send a telegram, send a telegram
To my baby you hear what I say
Oh western union man send a telegram
Send a telegram to my baby
Hey send a telegram
Oh western union man

Send a telegram, send a telegram
This is what I want him to do
This is what I want you to do
Put him on his bike right away
Listen, tell me have you got a boy you can send
See if he can get my message through
Maybe tomorrow
But mail it right away
I want the girl to know that I miss her
Send a telegram, send a telegram man
Something like yesterday
Oh western union man why don't you send a telegram
To my baby
Oh send a telegram to my baby
Do you hear what I say
Hey western union man
Western union man send a telegram
Oh send it right on to my baby

CHORUS
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause

Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you

Whoa, he don't love you

Your precious love
Means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you
I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
And darling, I'm
(I'm so surprised)
Oh, when I first realized
(I realized)
That a-you were fooling me
And darling
(Whoa-ooh)
They say that our love won't grow
But I just wanna tell them
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
That they don't know-oh-ho
For as long
As you're in love with me
Our love will grow wider
Deeper than any sea
And of all the things that I want
In this whole wide world
Is just for you to say
That you'll be my girl
And woo-ooo-ooo
(Wanting you)
Wanting you
(Oh-ooh, I'm lonely and blue)
I'm so-whoa, lonely
(That's what love will do)

Where are you going
Tell me what you want to be
You're coming of age
But you're lost on
A page no one can see
Is wisdom wasted on the young
Or will the peaceful songs you've song
Help to change the world
It's all up to you
Child, all you gotta do
Is grow up, little girl
You love now, you learn now
It's your turn now to live
And to give and oh, I wonder
Where in the world are you going
Will you find a Heaven or Hell
Will you be wise when
There's love in your eyes
Or too blind too tell
Oh, someday you'll learn the bitter truth
And when you look back on your youth
The one things you'll know is true
That's wherever you're going
My love goes with you
My love goes with you
Oh, baby, wether you're

Sit down awhile
My mother said one day
And this is what she had to say
What are you gonna do, child
With those tears in your eyes
(Run) no use trying to tell yourself
(Hide) that you don't love the girl
Take it for what it's worth
(You can't hide)
Go to the end of the Earth
(You can't hide)
You can run, run, run but
Oh, you can't hide from love
What are you gonna say, child
When your heartaches won't go
(Run) you can't tell love to go
(Hide) and come back another day
Try to leave it behind
(You can't hide)
Well, she's still on your mind
(You can't hide)
Run, run, run but you
Can't hide from love
Love is too wide
You can't get around it
It's too high
You can't get over it
Oh, no, you can't get over it
So what are you
Gonna do now, child
You still love her so
(Run) what were you
Thinking of, little boy (hide)
When you let the little girl go
You're gonna find out one day
(You can't hide)
There is no hiding place
(You can't hide)
Run, run, run but you
Can't hide from love
Oh, run (run, run, run)
But you can't hide
(Run, run, run)
Love will be by your side
(Run, run, run)
Cause wherever you go
(Run, run, run)

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

Jerry Butler - Make It Easy On Yourself
=========================================
Oh, breaking up is so
very hard to do
Verse 1:
If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through
Chorus 1:
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Verse 2:
And if the way I hold you
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less
Chorus 2:
My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying too
[repeat chorus 1]
Oh, baby,
it's so hard to do

We had a love that was our pride
And inspiration to our friends
If lovers had a Nobel Prize
I'm sure that we would win
And, girl, with all that's going
For us just this very day
You come out here and tell me
That our love has got away
I gotta know
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose our love
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose it, darling
We had it just a moment ago
It was right here
In the palm of our hand
Now I'm asking you and
You tell me you don't know
Oh, it would be a miracle
If we ever got it back
It'll be like finding
A needle in a haystack
How did we lose it, baby
(How did we lose it, baby)
(How did we lose it, baby)
(How did we lose it, baby)
What do you mean
Talking like you're talking
Girl, I gave you all my love
It's too late to be walking
Now listen, you turn around
Here to me and you better tell me
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose
(How did we lose it, baby)
All that we had going for us
How did we lose it, baby
We gotta find a way
To pull it back together
Girl, love's grown cold like?
And I don't wanna
Leave this love behind
A true style love is hard to find
Let me put this on your mind, oh
How did we lose it
How did we lose it, baby
You been my whole world
You know you have, girl
Down here on my knees
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
Help me find it, please
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
Please, baby
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
How did we lose it, baby
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
Oh, how did we lose it, baby
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose our love
(How did we lose it, baby)
I thought we had it right here
And I thought it would always be

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait
When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
Whoa, he don't love you

When I was a very small boy
(Just a small boy)
Looked through the cornfields
And wonder (oh, I wondered)
If every man had his own piece of land
So he'd never know hunger
Oh, the time quickly rode along
(Yes, it did now) I grew up
And I left home, Lord knows
I'm sorry I ever left
I see people starving to death
You walk easy, my son (easy)
That's what my daddy said to me
Said, you be a man
And you learn all you can
? and you'll be free
Oh, I remember one rainy day back home
(I remember) Sally Brown's house
Burned down (yes, it did now) and
Everybody had to lend a helping hand
Folks came from miles around
They didn't do this
Expecting something in return
They simply did it because they cared
And these were the kind of folk
If they had anything at all
They were more than willing to share
And Daddy said, you walk easy, boy
(Walk easy) yeah, and when your
Trouble get to falling like rain
(You gotta walk easy)
Hey, I want you to understand
You keep on stepping, man
Cause it'll only bring you cold?
And now that I'm out here
In this big old world
I hear strange world like pollution
And I see a man that needs
A helping hand have to go somewhere
To find his own solution
Oh, my Lord, how this
Whole world had changed
I say, God, save us all
Yeah, I hate the day that I ever came
This world is heading
For a great big fall
And you walk easy, son (easy)
Yeah, that's what my Daddy
Said to me, he said
You know you can't trust everyone
Cause it will only bring you misery
You walk easy, my son (easy)
And when your trouble get
To falling like rain, oh
Don't you try to trust everybody, child

Oh I'll never let you under my skin
Baby, I just could not stand, um, hum
To be hurt again
Um, hum, ooh wee, baby, ooh, hoo, listen lady
He'll wine and dine you, take you anywhere you wanna go
Oh, but when the night is over
Hey, you just may not see me no more
All I want is a one night affair that won't hurt nobody
One night affair
Hey, I'll hit 'n' run, you son of a gun
But I'll hit 'n' run, but it could be fun, I said
I don't wanna love nobody
Don't wanna take me a while
Girl, you just may not be ready
To go steady for the rest of your life
So for that reason, a one night affair
It'll be alright, a one night affair, let's start tonight
Hit 'n' run, aha son of a gun
I gonna hit 'n' run, yes, I mean it, yes, I mean it
'Cause you see I've been a lonely man
And I want you to understand
That I'll never let you under my skin
'Cause I don't want to be hurt again
Oh no, baby
(Hit 'n' run)
Um, hum
(Son of a gun)
I couldn't stand it, baby
(Hit 'n' run)
No, no, no, no, now
A one night affair, sounds in a hurry
A one night affair but you don't have to worry
I'll hit and run, I'll be a son of a gun
And I know you have been lonely too
That's why you will understand
Why a broken heart is so harder to mend
But one of these day, I'll be alright
If you just let me love you tonight
And though it may sound a little temporary
Sometimes, baby, it's so necessary
A one night affair, I declare
One night affair
Hey, just hit 'n' run, I'll be a son of a gun
Said I'll hit 'n' run, yes I will, yes I will, baby
One night affair won't hurt nobody
A one night affair
Baby
(Hit 'n' run)
Won't you be mine
(Son of a gun)
For just a little while
(Hit 'n' run)
Hey, won't you be mine
Won't you hold me
One night affair

Gotta let you know just how I feel
Gotta let you know
I need a love that's real
But until that day comes
We're gonna keep on having fun
And if it's real what I feel
I'm coming back to get you, oh, baby
And if it's real what I feel
I'm coming back to get you, I bet you
Girl, we're having
Such a wonderful time
Ooh, you're putting
Something on my mind
There's so many things
In this world to see
I've never seen before
There are so many places
In this big old world
That I know I've got to go
But I'm never gonna erase
The look of love upon your face
And if it's real what I feel
I'm coming back to get you, yeah, baby
And if it's real what I feel
I'm coming back to get you
Let's do it again
Gotta let you know just how I feel
Gotta let you know
I need a love that's real
But until that day comes
We're gonna keep on having fun
There's so much to see
And so much to hear
(Let me tell you) that a
Young girl like me should hear
(Oh, Lord) and I believe
When it's all said and done
I'll be coming home to you, my dear
But if I hold you too much longer
Baby, I'm gonna be a goner
And if it's real what I feel
I'm coming back to get you, oh, baby
And if it's real what I feel
I'm coming back to get you
Yes, I am, say it again

Oh, what you gonna do
If it's real what I feel
What you gonna do about it
I'm gonna get on home (come on)
I'm coming on home (come on)
I'm coming on home

In my neighborhood
Where folks don't live so good now
The rooms are small
Most the building's made of wood
I hear the neighbors
Talking about you and me
Yes, I've heard most every word
Cause the talking's loud and
The walls are much too thin
She don't really love him
Oh, that's what I heard them say
She sure wasn't thinking of him today
I saw her in the front yard now
Say, that girl in room 149
Talking to a boy, well
I've never seen him before
And standing there together
Don't you know they looked so fine
I don't wanna hear it anymore
I don't wanna hear it anymore
But the talk just never ends
The heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud and
The walls are much too thin
Lord, ain't it sad
Said the woman cross the hall
That when a nice boy falls in love
Hey, it's just too bad
That he just had to fall
For a girl who doesn't
Care for him at all
Well, I don't wanna hear it anymore
I can't stand to hear anymore
But the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
Oh, they talk so loud and
The walls are much too thin
Whoa, I wish they wouldn't talk so loud

(I dig you, baby)
(I dig you, yes, I do)
(I dig you, baby)
(I dig you, yes, I do)
Every man when he's young and free
Gets hung up on some new chick he meets
Though it doesn't usually last too long
Little girl, your love is strong
I have to say (I dig you, baby)
I think I like you, darling
(I dig you, yes, I do)
I really love you, baby
(I dig you, baby) yes, I do
(I dig you, yes, I do)
You're that special kind of girl
That makes a guy feel
Like he rules the world
You add that special something to my day
Lord knows you make it so easy to say
I dig you, baby (I dig you, baby)
I wanna testify
(I dig you, yes, I do)
I really, really love you, baby
(I dig you, baby) yes, I do
Now you are my inspiration
And I dig your hip conversation
The way you smile, oh
That's outta sight
And everything you do, girl
Tt's all right
(I dig you, baby)
Do I have to say anymore
(I dig you, yes, I do)
I really, love you, love you, baby
(I dig you, baby) yes, I do
(I dig you, yes, I do)
Oh, I dig you, baby
(I dig you, baby)

(Giving up, giving up)
(Giving up, giving up)
This is not the first time
It's happened before
Oh, the girl that I love
Doesn't love me anymore
So I've had it, forget it
Don't want it, you got it
I'm giving up on love
Before love gives up on me
(Giving up, giving up)
(Giving up, giving up)
How much can you give
And get nothing in return
And, oh, how long do you live
Before you finally learn
So I've had it, forget it
I don't want it
Brother, you've got it
I'm giving up on love
Before love gives up on me
(Giving up, giving up)
(Giving up, giving up)
Well, I've had it
Oh, forget it, I don't want it
Brother, you've got it
I'm giving up on love
Before love gives up on me
Yes, I am
I said I'm giving up today
Because love's given up on me
And gone away

When I was a very small boy
(Just a small boy)
Looked through the cornfields
And wonder (oh, I wondered)
If every man had his own piece of land
So he'd never know hunger
Oh, the time quickly rode along
(Yes, it did now) I grew up
And I left home, Lord knows
I'm sorry I ever left
I see people starving to death
You walk easy, my son (easy)
That's what my daddy said to me
Said, you be a man
And you learn all you can
? and you'll be free
Oh, I remember one rainy day back home
(I remember) Sally Brown's house
Burned down (yes, it did now) and
Everybody had to lend a helping hand
Folks came from miles around
They didn't do this
Expecting something in return
They simply did it because they cared
And these were the kind of folk
If they had anything at all
They were more than willing to share
And Daddy said, you walk easy, boy
(Walk easy) yeah, and when your
Trouble get to falling like rain
(You gotta walk easy)
Hey, I want you to understand
You keep on stepping, man
Cause it'll only bring you cold?
And now that I'm out here
In this big old world
I hear strange world like pollution
And I see a man that needs
A helping hand have to go somewhere
To find his own solution
Oh, my Lord, how this
Whole world had changed
I say, God, save us all
Yeah, I hate the day that I ever came
This world is heading
For a great big fall
And you walk easy, son (easy)
Yeah, that's what my Daddy
Said to me, he said
You know you can't trust everyone
Cause it will only bring you misery
You walk easy, my son (easy)
And when your trouble get
To falling like rain, oh
Don't you try to trust everybody, child
Cause it will only bring you pain

In my neighborhood
Where folks don't live so good now
The rooms are small
Most the building's made of wood
I hear the neighbors
Talking about you and me
Yes, I've heard most every word
Cause the talking's loud and
The walls are much too thin
She don't really love him
Oh, that's what I heard them say
She sure wasn't thinking of him today
I saw her in the front yard now
Say, that girl in room 149
Talking to a boy, well
I've never seen him before
And standing there together
Don't you know they looked so fine
I don't wanna hear it anymore
I don't wanna hear it anymore
But the talk just never ends
The heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud and
The walls are much too thin
Lord, ain't it sad
Said the woman cross the hall
That when a nice boy falls in love
Hey, it's just too bad
That he just had to fall
For a girl who doesn't
Care for him at all
Well, I don't wanna hear it anymore
I can't stand to hear anymore
But the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
Oh, they talk so loud and
The walls are much too thin
Whoa, I wish they wouldn't talk so loud
And expose my heartache to all the crowd

We had a love that was our pride
And inspiration to our friends
If lovers had a Nobel Prize
I'm sure that we would win
And, girl, with all that's going
For us just this very day
You come out here and tell me
That our love has got away
I gotta know
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose our love
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose it, darling
We had it just a moment ago
It was right here
In the palm of our hand
Now I'm asking you and
You tell me you don't know
Oh, it would be a miracle
If we ever got it back
It'll be like finding
A needle in a haystack
How did we lose it, baby
(How did we lose it, baby)
(How did we lose it, baby)
(How did we lose it, baby)
What do you mean
Talking like you're talking
Girl, I gave you all my love
It's too late to be walking
Now listen, you turn around
Here to me and you better tell me
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose
(How did we lose it, baby)
All that we had going for us
How did we lose it, baby
We gotta find a way
To pull it back together
Girl, love's grown cold like?
And I don't wanna
Leave this love behind
A true style love is hard to find
Let me put this on your mind, oh
How did we lose it
How did we lose it, baby
You been my whole world
You know you have, girl
Down here on my knees
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
Help me find it, please
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
Please, baby
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
How did we lose it, baby
(How did we lose it
How did we lose it)
Oh, how did we lose it, baby
How did we lose it, baby
How did we lose our love
(How did we lose it, baby)
I thought we had it right here
And I thought it would always be
Now I find myself...

Sit down awhile
My mother said one day
And this is what she had to say
What are you gonna do, child
With those tears in your eyes
(Run) no use trying to tell yourself
(Hide) that you don't love the girl
Take it for what it's worth
(You can't hide)
Go to the end of the Earth
(You can't hide)
You can run, run, run but
Oh, you can't hide from love
What are you gonna say, child
When your heartaches won't go
(Run) you can't tell love to go
(Hide) and come back another day
Try to leave it behind
(You can't hide)
Well, she's still on your mind
(You can't hide)
Run, run, run but you
Can't hide from love
Love is too wide
You can't get around it
It's too high
You can't get over it
Oh, no, you can't get over it
So what are you
Gonna do now, child
You still love her so
(Run) what were you
Thinking of, little boy (hide)
When you let the little girl go
You're gonna find out one day
(You can't hide)
There is no hiding place
(You can't hide)
Run, run, run but you
Can't hide from love
Oh, run (run, run, run)
But you can't hide
(Run, run, run)
Love will be by your side
(Run, run, run)
Cause wherever you go
(Run, run, run)
She will be there I know

Little Red Shoes
(ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ooooo)
From the time that he was born
He meant the world to me
and not so long ago
he sat upon my knee
And as the years flew by
the joy of watching you grow
I knew there'd come a time
when you would have to go
Oh you will always be
a little boy to me
and (bom) at christmas time (bom)
you'll (bom) always find
my love beneath the tree
(ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhh ooooo)
I'm reminded of the years?
(doo doo doo)
making angels in the snow
(sho-be-do-be-do-do)
childhood memories
(doo doo)
and the little red shoes you wore
And as the years flew by
the joy of watching you grow
I knew there'd come a time
when you would have to go
Oh you (you will always be) will always be
a little boy to me (a little boy to me)
and at christmas time ( ooooooo)
you'll always find (ooooo)
my (oooo) love beneath the tree

When Christmas comes
It's a happy time of year

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always, let, it, be, me

This is my same old coat
These are my same old shoes
It was the same old me
With the same old blues
Oh, then you touched my life
Just by holding my hand
And when I look in the mirror
I see a brand new girl, oh me
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you whoa, oh, oh
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
I got the same old friends
And they've got the same old sins
I tell them the same old jokes
And I get the same old grins
But now the joke is on you
It happened somehow with you
Everyday of my life
I'm as fresh as morning dew
Just because of you
Just because of you, whoa, oh, oh, oh
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
I go to the same old places
I see the same old faces
I look at the same old sky
See it all with brand new eye
I got a brand new boy
And I got me a brand new smile
Since I found you, baby
I got me a brand new style
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you, oh, I feel good
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you, oh, I feel good
Just because of you, boy
Hey, just because of you, yes, I do
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you, oh, it feels good
Just because of you, boy
Yeah, just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because, because, because of you
Just because of you, boy
Ooh, boy
Just because of you, boy
Ooh, boy
Just because of you, boy
Ooh, boy

She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles
That weren't there yesterday
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
What would he think if he saw her this way?
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
As something comes into her mind
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
The photograph album she takes from the closet
And slowly turns the page
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave her now withered today
She closes her eyes and touches the house dress
That suddenly disappears
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife
