Cappuccino Girls Songtext
von Bonnie Tyler

Hey, yeah
Let′s here it for the cappuccino girls

Girl one is a picture-perfect wife
Credit cards, manicures, a picture-perfect life
She drives a sports car given as a present
When the baby came

She's bored to tears, so she reaches for the sherry
Wastes an hour watching Jerry Springer on the telly
Crying, says she thinks another 20 years of this
She′s gonna go insane

Hey, yeah
Let's hear it for the cappuccino girls
Talking way too loud
Laughing with each other
Like the days before they were just someone else's mother
Hey, you′re looking good, you cappuccino girls
Holding on together, hoping everybody survives
Just like desperate housewives


Girl two thinks her life′s become a mess
She feels a failure while her husband's a success
Shelved her career plans
Concentrating now on the children′s lives

He's never home, she′s convinced herself she knows
That someone else's perfume, she can smell from his clothes
She pretends she′s fast asleep
As she hears his car pull into the drive

Hey, yeah
Let's hear it for the cappuccino girls
Looking for a change that simply never, ever arrives
Just like desperate housewives

Volvo cars and soccer Sundays
Birthday parties, end of term plays
Making cakes for the PTA you know you'll simply throw away
Shattered dreams and end of snow shows
Make excuses, he sends a red rose
"Next time", he says, "it will be different"
Who′s he kidding? Everybody knows


Hey, yeah
Let′s hear it for the cappuccino girls
Make the coffee last
Putting off the chores
Laughing at the antics like the ones behind closed doors
Hey, yeah
You're doing fine, you cappuccino girls
Holding on together
Making sure the sister survives
Just like desperate housewives

Let′s hear it for the cappuccino girls
You're doing fine, you cappuccino girls
