Shes a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the phone
When her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life
She says....
I swear I love my husband
I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadnt done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She dont even know what shes missing
And thats how she knows that she missed
Shes a sweetheart except when shes moody
Its hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Ah, but that happens now and again
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
Or when michaels kept late at the shop
A martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop
She says....
I swear I love my husband
And I love my kids
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadnt done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She dont even know what shes missing
And thats how she knows that she missed
Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
Now its seldom, if ever, they go
Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car
Theres no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
It was real touch and go for a while
She says....
Oh god, I love my husband
And I love my kids
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadnt done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She dont even know what shes missing
And thats how she knows that she missed
Dusty Springfield, born Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien (London, April 16, 1939 – Henley-on-Thames, March 2, 1999), was a British singer whose impact on the history of British fashion and popular music in the 20th century is comparable to that of Mina in Italy or Dalida in France. Mary was the second daughter of Gerard and Catherine (Kay) O'Brien, Irish immigrants settled in one of the working-class neighborhoods on the north outskirts of London. She grew up in the suburb of Ealing and already as a child earned the nickname Dusty for her tomboyish attitude. She inherited her passion for music from her maternal grandfather, who encouraged her to listen to authors like George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Glenn Miller. Her musical role model as a girl was Peggy Lee. In 1958 she left school and, responding to an advertisement in a newspaper, joined the Lana Sisters group. Thanks to this experience, she learned vocal harmony and stage work. In 1960 she began her solo career under the stage name Dusty Springfield, achieving immediate success with songs like "I Only Want to Be with You" and "Stay Awhile". Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she gained international fame thanks to albums like "Dusty in Memphis" (1969), considered a masterpiece of British soul. Her powerful voice, her elegant style, and her ability to interpret pop, soul, and rhythm and blues songs with great sensitivity made her one of the most admired artists of her generation. Dusty Springfield was also a pioneer for women in music, challenging gender norms and achieving lasting success despite the difficulties of the music world.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
