joan ryan - it will never be that way again lyrics

[ginger]
once life was simple
and entre nous
i was an ordinary nothing
just like you

oh, how i loved to cook and clean
my life an open magazine
just like every happy housewife
way back when
but it can never be that way again

i lost the apr+n
i found my voice
and now i live my life on stage
i have no choice

the woman doomed to entertain
must use applause to ease the pain
when she gets that old familiar housewife yen
but it can never be that way again

[ginger, spoken]
do you think i like this?
do you think i want this?
i was happy and fulfilled as a housewife
now look at me
do you think i wouldn’t give up a sold+out matinee
to do a coupla loadsa of laundry
do you know what it’s like to lie in bed night after night
fighting the urge to defrost your freezer
or to iron, just the pillowcase or a hankie
but i can’t, i can’t
i’m a star!
[ginger]
now people love me
from h+ll to maine
so it’s goodbye to apple pie
bonjour champagne

perhaps to you
it won’t make sense
i’ll always miss my picket fence
and the way my life was simple
way back when

but now i star in broadway shows
’cause in my veins the talents flow
(spoken)
this time i’m doing it for me, mother

[ginger]
it will never be that way again!
