Sandra Lyrics - It Begins Again - Dusty Springfield

She's a great little housewife 

Though sometimes she talks like a fool 

But she helps at the store in the holiday rush 

And she picks up the kids after school 

And she puts down the 'phone 

When her husband comes home 

And she changes from mother to wife 

'Til she feels the words hanging between them 

And she hangs by her words to her life 

She says... 

I swear I love my husband 

I love my kids 

I wanted to be like my mother 

But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did 

Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself 

So many things that she wishes 

She don't even know what she's missing 

And that's how she knows that she missed

She's a sweetheart except when she's moody 

It's hard to get through to her then 

Depressed for a while when the youngest was born 

Ah, but that happens now and again 

Ah, she might take a drink with the housework 

Or when Michael's kept late at the shop 

A martini or two before dinner 

But she always knows when to stop 

She says... 

I swear I love my husband 

And I love my kids 

And, though I wanted to be like my mother 

But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did 

Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself 

So many things that she wishes 

She don't even know what she's missing 

And that's how she knows that she missed 

Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies 

Now it's seldom, if ever, they go 

Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car 

There's no money left for the show 

She was doing the dishes 

When a glass fell and broke on the tile 

And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake 

It was real touch and go for a while 

She says... 

Oh God, I love my husband 

And I love my kids 

Well, I wanted to be like my mother 

But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did 

Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself 

So many things that she wishes 

She don't even know what she's missing 

And that's how she knows that she missed
