The End Of The World

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 ol' days were gone

That's how she used to be, but that goes down as history

Time has the way of movin' on

Oh, I know she was there when you needed lovin' care

And 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 ol' days were gone

That's how she used to be but that goes down as history

Time has the way of movin' 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 the joint account to see where all the money goes

So she doesn't have to talk you into buying all the clothes

That's what she used to say, but that what things were yesterday

Looks like the good ol' days was bored

That's how she used to be, but that goes down as history

Time bridged the way of movin' 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
