Well, I've washed your laundry
And I've ironed your shirts
Putting up with being
Only the wife
While you did your thing
And never let me live my life
I've listened to your problems
And I've waited up
With your dinner getting cold
'cause I was stupid enough
To think together
We'd grow old
And now you've found
Another woman
And she's better than me
In oh so many ways
I was your mother, your friend
And all I'm getting is
slap in the face

So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a [bad word] when I see red

She's got style, you say
And she's never ever
Boring or plain [bad word] to me
She's all caviar and champagne
And she's always willing
To fulfill your needs
With an urge that never fails
She's never got a headache
And she's never got broken nails

So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a [bad word] when I see red
So with her at last you're living
And with me it's dull and dead
Well, I won't be all forgiving
I'm a [bad word] when I see red

When the novelty's
Wearing off
Where d'you think
You're gonna be
When you find she wants
home and kids
Just like me
When she finds
You're not the man
She thought you were
But a liar and a cheat
I can hardly wait
My revenge will be so sweet

So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a [bad word] when I see red
So with her at last you're living
And with me it's dull and dead
Well, I won't be all forgiving
I'm a [bad word] when I see red
So you say your love has faded
And you're taking that woman instead
I'm insulted and degraded
And I tell you, I see red...
