I iron and I sew as I watch the late show
But something moist keeps getting in my eyes
He called and said don't wait
He'd be working late
And so another lonely night goes by

Meanwhile down at Joe's
The music's playing
I can almost see him there holding her so tight
Meanwhile here at home
The baby's crying
All in all
It's just another night

I polish and I clean
Then read a magazine
It's time for bed
He'll soon be slipping in

Tomorrow, he will be sweet and kind to me
He'll love me
Until he works late again
Meanwhile down at Joe's...
