Lyrics
an innocent girl
and a typical guy
they meet and fall in love
in the usual way
they get married
in a congregational church
they take their holy vows
in a sacred way
(chorus)
she does the dishes
she washes clothes
when he goes and comes back
the innocent girl never knows
now the years go by
and after a couple of kids
the typical guy
gets tired of all this
he finds the love
of a young sweet honey
he breaks the heart
of the innocent girl
(chorus)
so the lawyer takes
over to split the family
she the house
he gets the tv
and the lawyer gets
his regular fee
whatever happened to
a love so young and strong
has it faded like
the bright blue sky
with the approaching twilight
and the bright stars
