Flowers and wine is what I thought I would find When I came home from working tonight Well now here I stand, over this frying pan And you want a cold one again I bought these new heels, did my nails Had my hair done just right I thought this new dress was a sure bet For romance tonight Well it's perfectly clear, between the TV and beer I won't get so much as a kiss As I head for the door I turn around to be sure Did I shave my legs for this? Now when we first met you promised you'd get A house on a hill with a pool Well this trailer stays wet and were swimmin' in debt And you want me to go back to school I bought these new heels, did my nails Had my hair done just right I thought this new dress was a sure bet For romance tonight Well it's perfectly clear, between the TV and beer I won't get so much as a kiss As I head for the door I turn around to be sure Did I shave my legs for this? Darlin' did I shave my legs for this?
