Used to get up at 7
|
Make breakfast for the children
|
Get them out to the bus by 8
|
|
Sit down with a coffee
|
Throw the hair in a pony
|
Make sure the kitchen was clean
|
And the bed was made
|
|
Then make plans for dinner
|
But the laundry waits
|
Check in with the husband
|
At least a couple of times a day
|
|
That was before I came home
|
Before walked in and I found
|
Him with the neighbor
|
Who I thought was a friend
|
|
Now I am down on my knees
|
Begging, please God, please
|
I just want my life back again
|
|
Had a garden and flowers
|
Where I spent hours and hours
|
It was a homecoming sight to see
|
|
And I would hang in my cozies
|
While we watch old rented movies
|
You said, "You don't have to dress up
|
For me"
|
|
That was before I came home
|
Before walked in and I found
|
Him with the neighbor
|
Who I thought was a friend
|
|
Now I am down on my knees
|
Begging, please God, please
|
I just want my life back again
|
|
I had everything I dreamed
|
This just can't be happening
|
How am I supposed to go on
|
Where did go so wrong?
|
|
I just want my life back
|
I just want my life back
|
|
Everything I built, everything I had
|
I just want my life back
|
That can't be too much to ask, oh no
|
I just want my life back
|
How could it change just like that
|
|
I just want my life back
|
I just want my life back
|
Please, God, please
|

I Just Want My Life Back
