Then She's a Lover

(Bobby Russell)



She comes in about six o'clock

Trippin' over toys and pickin' up socks

And you think her day had been a ton of trouble

She's been doing important things

With tradin' stamps and turnip greens

And have I noticed how the price of soap has doubled.



She's as normal as she can be

And she never misses Jeopardy

And I think that she'd elope with Dick VanDyke

And when the kids have all been fed

And when I lay me down to bed

She gives me my time of the night.



Then she's a lover she comes to my side

Right around midnight after her day's been so confused

That's why I love her and that's why I do right

And if there's a reason God gave me a feeling baby it's you.



She hates tangerines, she loves the rain

Volunteers me for everything

And the bank has never been right in her life

She thinks my Uncle Bill's a sap

She's taught me words like over draft

And the only number she remembers is her shoe size.



She had words with a guy next door

And almost started a neighborhood war

'Cause he said something smart to our son Bob

And therefore I had to invite him in

And apologize and convince him

That she really didn't mean he was a big fat slob.



She's as normal as she can be

And she never misses Jeopardy

And I think that she'd elope with Dick VanDyke

And when the kids have all been fed

And when I lay me down to bed

She gives me my time of the night...
