Eat your cornflakes in the morning
But you never see the bowl
You only see the cockroach
You're such a loving soul
Then you go and do your dusting
And you’re feeling out of place
You were born to be a lady
And it shows upon your face
You're sitting in the corner
And you sing your songs for me
If you could be born again
You'd be singing in a different key
You flit around the bathroom
With your Ajax in your hand
Instead of playing housewife
You should be playing concert grand
Go along and get your shopping
From the man along the road
Now it’s too late, you'll never fail
To claim what you are owed
What kind of a life
Is this you're into now?
You used to be the queen
Of a lady land of your own
Keep on singing, honey
You know it's all that you deserve
You wanted the other life
Then you lost your nerve
You only let part of your soul
Believe in what you are
We both know you can't go back
But at least don't go so far
What kind of a life
Is this you're into now?
You used to be the queen
Of a lady land of your own
We had some good times together
Though it ended pretty bad
You used to sing all of the time
Before you threw away all you had
You're sitting in the corner
And you sing your songs for me
If you could be born again
You’d be singing in a different key
Eat your cornflakes in the morning
But you never see the bowl
You only see the cockroach
You’re such a loving soul
Then you go and do your dusting
And you're feeling out of place
You were born to be a lady
But you lost the very last race
You lost the very last race
