[Verse 1]
Where is she when the little thing cries?
She lies in a bed with a friend of mine
But some nights she'll run back in fright
If she picks on a dick that's too big for her pride

[Chorus]
Oh! Oh! Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby
She's ran-tanning constantly
She saw me coming for miles
She saw me open wide

[Verse 2]
Four o'clock and her key's in the lock
And she's been on the wink and she's stinking of drink
Wakes the kid so I put him to sleep
And she's in there all night doubled over the sink

[Chorus ]
Oh! Oh! Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby
She's ran-tanning constantly
She saw me coming for miles
She saw me open wide
She saw me coming for miles

[Outro]
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide
Open wide

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
