lyrics

Been scheming since you were young
of the pipe organ playing and releasing of doves
wearing white with your hair done up
making your parents proud

When you're looking for just anyone
keep your eyes peeled for a sign from God
getting hitched will be so much fun
in time you can turn it to love

You've been waiting your whole life
Just to be a submissive wife
Giving up on what you like
To settle for what is at hand
This has always been the dream
To make it last fulfill his needs
This will give your life meaning
How can you pass up this chance?

College set you up with a gullible jerk
got a four-year degree but never planned to work
maybe substitute teach till you get knocked up
or find something easier to do

Patience gave way to good timing
but you wouldn't put out till you got that ring
now he's working overtime while you watch tv
and stay at home eating for two

SOUTHERN GIRLS wait their whole lives
Just to be submissive wives
Giving up on what they like
To settle for what is at hand
This has always been the dream
A good wife must fulfill his needs
This will give your lives meaning
So how could you pass up this chance?

We both know there's no mister right
You choose someone and then survive
Having kids will help you get by
Till you can grow old and die

If you stay in love with his ideal
You won't care how you feel
Believing won't make it real
You choose to live the lie
