Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my friends are raising babies
I'm still raising Cain
They must think because I've waited
That I don't want the same
[Verse 2]
Their days are spent changing diapers
They think mine are so exciting
Running off to where the lights are so much brighter
[Verse 3]
It's an empty room at the top of the stairs
Watching the evening news with a couple of beers
I only call my husband baby 'cause I love the word
Never wanted something so bad that it hurts
Even give up these damned old cigarettes
If I could have a bottle by my bed
[Verse 4]
My only bedtime story is a People magazine
I'd rather be in a carpool lane than this big cold limousine
I'd trade every pair of high heel shoes for a high chair in the dining room
Don't even know you yet, but I know I love you
[Verse 5]
It's an empty room at the top of the stairs
Watching the evening news with a couple of beers
I only call my husband baby 'cause I love the word
Never wanted something so bad that it hurts
Even give up these damned old cigarettes
If I could have a bottle by my bed
[Verse 6]
We wait, we wait
It'll be our turn someday
[Verse 7]
Spend a lot of afternoons daydreaming 'bout you
Right now our mortgage is the only thing that's due
[Verse 8]
It's an empty room at the top of the stairs
Watching the evening news with a couple of beers
I only call my husband baby 'cause I love that word
Never wanted something so bad that it hurts
Even give up these damned old cigarettes
If I could have a bottle by my bed
Bottle by my bed
[Verse 9]
We wait
