To my husband I'm an ordinary wife

To my children I'm the mother in their life

       G                                    C            Am
To the neighbors I'm the girl next door who washes every day

    A7                        D             D7
And I'm their baby sitter any time they go away

       G
To the party people I don't fit their world

                      G7              C
To my daddy I'm still just his little girl
[Chorus]
         C                                G
But when I lie down and close my eyes and sleep

                      D               G
This must be the only time I'm really me

And calls him for appointments on the day he closes

This must be the only time I'm really me
