This is your life
You’ve got problems with your wife
She once made you mashed potatoes
Now she gives you Minute Rice
And she used to do your laundry
Now she sends it out instead
And she always made believe
That she was satisfied in bed
That’s what she used to say
But that’s how things were yesterday
Looks like the good ole days are gone
That’s how she used to be
But that goes down as history
Time has a way of movin’ on
Oh I know she was there
When you needed lovin’ care
When she only used the car
To drive the children everywhere
And I’m sure she washed the windows
And I’m sure she waxed the floors
But now she doesn’t call you
Her Prince Charming anymore
That’s what she used to say
But that’s how things were yesterday
Looks like the good ole days are gone
That’s how she used to be
But that goes down as history
Time has a way of moving on
She’s not the sweet little girl
That she was before
You’re not the end of her world anymore
You’re not the end of the world
She wins when you fight
And she goes to school at night
She leaves you home to babysit
And watch “The Price Is Right”
And she wants a joint account
To see where all the money goes
So she doesn’t have to talk you
Into buying all her clothes
That’s what she used to say
But that what things were yesterday
Looks like the good old days are gone
Oh, that’s how she used to be
But that goes down as history
Time has a way of moving on
She’s not your little girl
That she was before
You’re not the end of her world anymore
You’re not the end of the world
You’ve got problems with your wife
She once made you mashed potatoes
Now she gives you Minute Rice
And she used to do your laundry
Now she sends it out instead
And she always made believe
That she was satisfied in bed
That’s what she used to say
But that’s how things were yesterday
Looks like the good ole days are gone
That’s how she used to be
But that goes down as history
Time has a way of movin’ on
Oh I know she was there
When you needed lovin’ care
When she only used the car
To drive the children everywhere
And I’m sure she washed the windows
And I’m sure she waxed the floors
But now she doesn’t call you
Her Prince Charming anymore
That’s what she used to say
But that’s how things were yesterday
Looks like the good ole days are gone
That’s how she used to be
But that goes down as history
Time has a way of moving on
She’s not the sweet little girl
That she was before
You’re not the end of her world anymore
You’re not the end of the world

And she goes to school at night

And watch “The Price Is Right”
And she wants a joint account

Oh, that’s how she used to be
But that goes down as history
Time has a way of moving on
She’s not your little girl
That she was before
You’re not the end of her world anymore
You’re not the end of the world
