Better Homes And Gardens 
Composer(s): B. Russell; Billy Walker

You say you’re tired of her, an’ you’ve found a faster life
You’re having trouble going home to her
When you get off work at night
You say you’re dining out with friends, won’t be in ‘til late
While she sits home 
With the children you fathered, and tolerates

Now wasn’t that the same little gal you swore a while back
You’d spend your whole life through?
Shortly after that didn’t she hang it up
For life to marry you?
Hey, are you afraid that the boys at the office
Will no longer call you stud?
Well, secretaries and alligators
Shoes gotten in your blood

Better mind your better homes and gardens
And take the kids out too
And take her home some candy and say 
“Baby, I love you”
Now I’m not saying that she’ll forgive
Or even make amends
But you’re ‘bout half smart an’ better startin’ 
That might just get you back in
Haven’t you heard that back door swings both ways, my friend
She can be just as dumb
The best deal you ever had, you ever had, you ever had
Is waiting back there at home
You say you’re getting caught up early 
You’re cheated out of life
While you also said that you’d be a millionaire
By the time you was twenty-five, didn’t make it
Better mind your better homes and gardens
Take the kids to the zoo
Spend the day with the PTA
She might think that’s cool
Now I’m not saying that she’ll forgive
And let you right back in her world
She ain’t gonna flip that you’ve gotta lick
That she smiles ‘cause she’s a good ol’ girl
Better homes and gardens
Take the kids out too
Take her home some flowers
