It took a lot of reasoning before she got to pleasing him
    Gm                                     Gm9
She made a combination of despair and inspiration
  D
A mother and a mistress, a sister to her sisters

At least she has a home to share, a man who comes to do her hair
  Gm                                     Gm9
A garden with a patio, a place to have a barbecue

The envy of her neighbors who smile and wave and ask her
   Gm7                                                  Gm7  Gm9
If they could live for just a day in luxury and ecstasy

It's a long way back, too much to ask

The trash is in the garbage can, the mystery of Wonderland
    Gm                                                     Gm9
One day she thinks of leaving him, the next she treats him like a king
    D
She hears it on the radio and sees it on the video

  D
Before she gave her friends a ring she promised almost everything
     Gm                                        Gm9
They ran away to paradise, but everything will have its price

From woman number one to woman number two
          Gm7                                           Gm7   Gm9
Now she's woman number three and she thinks that she is lucky
