Lyrics

I could live in a house by the sea
I could live with a man sweet as can be

And he’d fix things before they were broken
And he’d fashion things out of oak and mahogany
And he’d leave me be

I could drive into town to get groceries
I could keep my kitchen just as I please

And the fucking would just take a moment
I’d get drunk so I wouldn’t even know
What happened to me
What happened to me?

It’s mind over matter
The rest doesn’t matter
I can have the life I choose
I have nothing to lose

I could host dinner parties for all of our friends
Him at the head of the table and me at the end

And my parents, they love him already
And they’ll say that he’s strong and he’s steady
And just what I need
And I’ll smile and agree

It’s mind over matter
The rest doesn’t matter
I can have the life I choose
I have nothing to lose
