A Life Of Her Own lyrics

She sits alone in the kitchen
With her memories and photographs
Of all the better times she's had
When she was young the days seemed short
So much to do so little time
But now the days just seem to pass her by
So she cries she takes a pill
Then another, calls her mother
"Mother can you baby sit tonight?"

The children scream her husband doesn't care
So many times she's wished he wasn't there
In the morning does the washing up
The fish and chips the children left
She scrapes away into the bin
Four o'clock they're home from school
They scream and shout her life they rule
She dreams of holidays and better things
So she cries she takes a pill
Then another, calls her mother
"Mother can you baby sit tonight?"

She wishes she was alone
She could have a life of her own

So she sits alone in the park
She wishes she could run away
But deep inside she knows she never will
She dreams of living in the country
With a garden full of daffodils
For now a box on the window sill
So she cries she takes a pill
And then another, calls her mother
"Mother can you baby sit tonight?"

She wishes she was alone
She could have a life of her own
She could have a life of her own
A life of her own
