Used to get up at 7
Make breakfast for the children
Get them out to the bus by 8

Sit down with a coffee
Throw the hair in a pony
Make sure the kitchen was clean
And the bed was made

Then make plans for dinner
But the laundry waits
Check in with the husband
At least a couple of times a day

That was before I came home
Before walked in and I found
Him with the neighbor
Who I thought was a friend

Now I am down on my knees
Begging, please God, please
I just want my life back again

Had a garden and flowers
Where I spent hours and hours
It was a homecoming sight to see

And I would hang in my cozies
While we watch old rented movies
You said, "You don't have to dress up
For me"

That was before I came home
Before walked in and I found
Him with the neighbor
Who I thought was a friend

Now I am down on my knees
Begging, please God, please
I just want my life back again

I had everything I dreamed
This just can't be happening
How am I supposed to go on
Where did go so wrong?

I just want my life back
I just want my life back

Everything I built, everything I had
I just want my life back
That can't be too much to ask, oh no
I just want my life back
How could it change just like that

I just want my life back
I just want my life back
Please, God, please
