Dusty Springfield - Sandra lyrics

(Barry Manilow / Enoch Anderson)

 

She's a great little housewife

Though sometimes she talks like a fool

But she helps at the store in the holiday rush

And she picks up the kids after school

And she puts down the 'phone

When her husband comes home

And she changes from mother to wife

'Til she feels the words hanging between them

And she hangs by her words to her life

 

She says....

I swear I love my husband

I love my kids

I wanted to be like my mother

But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself

So many things that she wishes

She don't even know what she's missing

And that's how she knows that she missed

 

She's a sweetheart except when she's moody

It's hard to get through to her then

Depressed for a while when the youngest was born

Ah, but that happens now and again

Ah, she might take a drink with the housework

Or when Michael's kept late at the shop

A martini or two before dinner

But she always knows when to stop

 

She says....

I swear I love my husband

And I love my kids

And, though I wanted to be like my mother

But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself

So many things that she wishes

She don't even know what she's missing

And that's how she knows that she missed

 

Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies

Now it's seldom, if ever, they go

Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car

There's no money left for the show

She was doing the dishes

When a glass fell and broke on the tile

And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake

It was real touch and go for a while

 

She says....

Oh God, I love my husband

And I love my kids

Well, I wanted to be like my mother

But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself

So many things that she wishes

She don't even know what she's missing

And that's how she knows that she missed
