I look in the mirror stare at the wrinkles
That weren't there yesterday
And think of the young man that I almost married
What would he think if he saw me this way
I hold up my apron in little girl fashion
As something comes into my mind
Then slowly start dancing remembering my girlhood
And all of the boys I had waiting in line
Such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere anytime of the day
The everyday housewife who gave up the good life like me
The photograph album I take from the closet
And slowly turn the first page
Carefully pick up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave me now withered with age
I close my eyes and I touch the housedress
That suddenly disappears
And just for a moment I'm wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere anytime of the day
The everyday housewife who gave up the good life like me
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere anytime of the day
The everyday housewife who gave up the good life like me
The everyday housewife who gave up the good life like me
