There I was with no resentment, life without regrets
Deep inside was sheer contentment - till the day we met
Feel as though my whole world now is full of pain and strife
Since the day that I first met: the mother of my wife

Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law

To the floor I tried to stick her, and sneak out of the room
I bought her a bumper sticker: "My other car's a broom"
You don't know what she's like, and one day I told 'er
At least you're well-balanced, got a chip on either shoulder

Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law

You don't know what she's like

Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law
Mother-in-law, Mother-in-law

Mother-in-law
