Smiling sweetly as I turned out the light

He turned away then and I cried all night
G D7 G
I did my duty because I'm his wife
[Chorus]
D7
But I'm his wife in name alone
C G
He no longer seems to care
D7
He doesn't even notice
A7 D7
I've started fixing up my hair
G G7
Will he ignore the fruit of love?

That should be picked it's over ripe
D7
Till someone else does his duty
G
And is loving his wife

That should be picked it's over ripe

Till someone else does his duty

And is loving his wife
