Song Description

A CEO's wife realizes her own dreams are more important to her than living in her husband's shadow, in this harmonica-driven blues-rocker.

Lyrics

Mrs. You


1. She finally decided
She can?t go on denyin? this no more
Years been disappearin?,
Supporting his career, and keeping score
Rehearsin' to the mirror
Makes sure he can?t hear her
She has yet to hear the slamming of the door,
when she says:

Chorus:

?I?ve got things to do that you know nothing about
Fourteen years of giving away, what I can?t live without
Gonna make a change that's way overdue
Won?t keep on bein? simply Mrs. You"
oh oh, Mrs. You


2. They met when she was twenty
He didn?t have a penny to his name
But he had determination
For a whole generation, and played the game
Married to a CEO,
She spends most of her time alone
Steps back for him to get his acclaim,
Just thinkin':

Chorus:

?I?ve got things to do that you know nothing about
Fourteen years of giving away what I can?t live without
Gonna make a change that's way overdue
Won?t keep on bein? simply Mrs. You"
oh oh, Mrs. You

Bridge:

He?s had power lunches, charity events
Business class and big shot friends
She?s been understanding, calm and cool
Never broke the golden rule
When it seems like you have all that you could wish for
Don?t let on that you want something more, oh oh


3. She?ll go right back to college
Burn down every last bridge to this life
Get back in touch with old friends
Get out a bit on weekends
Be no one?s wife
For company, she?ll get a pet
no sacrifices or regrets
So at dinnertime, she takes a deep breath, and she says:

Chorus:

?I?ve got things to do that you know nothing about
Fourteen years of giving away what I can?t live without
Gonna make a change that's way overdue
Won?t keep on bein? simply Mrs. You, oh oh, Mrs. You"
Ooooh, Mrs. You, oooh,
Hey, hey, hey yeah...
