It Works · letra

He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast And pours him a glass of tea Deep in her heart she believes That's the way it should be Yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad Over one little four-letter word He'll tell you fast you don't talk like that around her
We may not see it the way they see it We may not do it the way they do it But she lives here life for him And he'd gladly die for her And even in this modern age, it works
Though he's been down in his back He still jumps out of that sack Ev'ry mornin' at 5 a.m. Having her home With the kids has been worth it to him Yeah, and she takes pride in bein' his wife And making their house a home And sometimes she wishes the world Would just leave them alone We may not see it the way they see it We may not do it the way they do it But she lives here life for him And he'd gladly die for her And even in this modern age, it works
If the good Lord's willin' there will come a day When our children will say
We may not see it the way they see it We may not do it the way they do it But she lives here life for him And he'd gladly die for her And even in this modern age, it works
Even in this modern age, it works...
