Content

The song humorously describes about a marriage that is obviously opposite of one in a traditional manner, particularly because the wife—the female narrator—fantasizes of a luxurious lifestyle. The wife explains that, after finishing a supposed hectic workday, she undergoes a feminine makeover (supposedly at a local spa). She returns to a deteriorating mobile home, where she and her husband reside, with high expectations that her husband will provide her a romantically intimate evening, only to find herself unenthusiastically preparing supper for him while he watches television and consumes beer and clearly not caring to display any sympathy towards his wife.
