He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast
And pours him a glass of tea
Deep in her heart she believes
That's the way it should be
Yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad
Over one little four-letter word
He'll tell you fast you don't talk
Like that around her
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they do it
But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her
And even in this modern age, it works
Though he's been down in his back
He still jumps out of that sack every mornin' at 5 a.m.
Havin' her home with the kids
Has been worth it to him
Yeah, and she takes pride in bein' his wife
And making their house a home
And sometimes she wishes the world
Would just leave them alone
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they do it
But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her
And even in this modern age, it works
If the good Lord's willin'
There will come a day
When our children will say
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they do it
But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her
And even in this modern age, it works
Even in this modern age, it works
