She shuts the door, turns on the light
he said he'd be home late tonight
she likes to cook but not for one
she sits down by the fire

he'll get home tired, they'll hardly talk
he works so hard it's not his fault
but that doesn't help how she feels inside
there must be something more

how well she can recall the time 
when they used to have such fun
when money was no substitute 
for a day spent in the sun

CHORUS
she's married but living alone
with a man who is never at home
even when he's there she just can't bear
to think of what he's become
she knows that she still loves him 
she just wishes that he'd change
to the man he was
when they were young
he's given her all he wanted
all she never asked for
she's got it all, she's married 
but living alone

the day is done he's fast asleep
she's trying hard not to weep
so many times they've talked it through
but nothing seems to change

she wants so much to run away
but she'll leave it for another day
what could she do, where could she go
no answer ever comes

the thought of being by herself 
makes her feel so scared
security will always keep her there 
and precious moments that they once shared
