Only means more dishes to load
Paintin' them's such a mess
I guess I'll never know
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
And if I go to sleep at night, I always go alone
And a big back yard where kids can play
Only means more dishes to load
What's so great about picket fences
I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side
But I can't take the give and take, the price is just too high
Paintin' them's such a mess
And a big back yard where kids can play
But what about those of us whose lives are still spinnin' around
And settin' the table for five at five
I'd probably never get a moment's rest
Here I am in my prime, at least they tell me so
I guess I'll never know
Get a job, say, 'I do' and settle yourself down
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
And settin' the table for five at five
I'd probably never get a moment's rest
What's so great about picket fences
