[Verse 1]
White picket fences, clear blue skies
Milk at the front door
Hot apple pies, shag pile carpets
Colour TV
Aprons and pearls, the American dream

[Pre-Chorus]
A good wife always knows her place
She keeps a good home
She keeps her mouth shut when he gets home

[Chorus]
Looking back now
Was it worth the sacrifice?
Gave your best years to domestic paradise
Vision of perfection, were you dead inside?
Living your life like a Stepford Wife
Living your life like a Stepford Wife

[Verse 2]
Coffee, two sugars
He's at the door
Left on your one with your daily chores
Lipstick on his collar, you know it's not yours
It's not the first time but it's best, love, to ignore

[Pre-Chorus]
A good wife always knows her place
She keeps a good home
She keeps her mouth shut when he gets home

[Chorus]
Looking back now
Was it worth the sacrifice?
Gave your best years to domestic paradise
Vision of perfection, were you dead inside?
Living your life like a Stepford Wife
Living your life, living your life

[Bridge]
You did it all with a smile on your face
Dressed to the nines, not a hair out of place
You gave yourself up
Partner, dreams and home
Just to survive, you did what you were told
[Chorus]
Looking back now
Was it worth the sacrifice?
Gave your best years to domestic paradise
Vision of perfection, were you dead inside?
Living your life like a Stepford Wife
Living your life like a Stepford Wife
Living your life, living your life
