The kids are grown, the lawns been mowed
The trash is at the curb
The cats been fed, the mails been read
It's all calm in our world
The laundry's done, your having fun
Watching TV again
The bills are paid but I've not been laid
Since I can't remember when
Things aren't gonna change around here
So all I gotta do is say I'm going for a beer
You'll think all is well
I'll never tell
And I can see it's very clear
That things aren't gonna change around here
A kiss each day as I go on my way
Is sweet as all get out
I love you, I love you too
Of that there is no doubt
But sometimes a man gets in a jam
And needs a little more
Despite your love it's not enough
So please don't lock the door
Things aren't gonna change around here
So all I gotta do is say I'm going for a beer
You'll think all is well
I'll never tell
And I can see it's very clear
That things aren't gonna change around here
If it gets late you shouldn't wait
To go to bed when you are through
Get a good night's sleep, sweet dreams to keep
There's no way you'll have a clue
I'll leave no trace, no lipstick face
No numbers you'll run across
It's a one-time thing, I'll wear my ring
That way it won't get lost
Things aren't gonna change around here
So all I gotta do is say I'm going for a beer
You'll think all is well
I'll never tell
And I can see it's very clear
That things aren't gonna change around here
