A Perfect Wife

[00:10.62] I married Charlie when I was sixteen
[00:13.51] But I didn't love him and he didn't love me
[00:16.10] Frank was sweet, sent me poetry
[00:18.81] But it wasn't the same as it was on TV
[00:26.55] A lonely widow with no place to go
[00:29.14] For a time I settled on the Florida coast
[00:31.84] Rick and Arlie, they had to go
[00:34.64] To join the rest of my family's ghosts
[00:42.29] And oh oh oh, I haven't been a perfect wife
[00:47.63] I'm a lonely heart, looking for the real romance of my life
[01:03.16] Now Sam was a hard man with a real mean streak
[01:05.78] Said women don't need romance magazines
[01:08.69] But I showed him with his last coffee
[01:11.14] And now they can do anything they like with me
[01:14.48] Oh oh oh, I haven't been a perfect wife
[01:19.02] I'm a lonely heart, looking for the real romance of my life
[01:26.11] Take it easy, don't worry
[01:27.89] I'll be fine in here
[01:30.83] I'm sure I'll find my perfect mate yet
[01:33.48] And my conscience is clear
[01:48.69] Didn't do it for the money, in truth I was bored
[01:51.17] Nobody writes to me any more
[01:53.95] Cigarettes and prison walls
[01:56.70] Will keep me company 'til I meet the Lord
[01:59.99] And Lord knows that
[02:01.73] Oh oh oh, I haven't been a perfect wife
[02:06.46] I'm a lonely heart, looking for the real romance of my life
[02:12.56] Oh oh oh, I haven't been a perfect wife
[02:17.53] I'm a lonely heart, looking for the real romance of my life
[02:45.12] Take it easy, don't worry
[02:48.20] I'll be fine in here
