Good Wife

Uuuhh

Comes on over, wants to
drown his sorrows, got a
two-seater sofa and some whiskey in a bottle.
broke and in tears
with the weight of the world on his shoulder.

Oh my God, Sam,
what’s happened to ya? Says his
Wife’s just left with his two-year-old daughter
To live in Acapulco with some idiot
she only met a couple months ago

I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife
I would never doubt you,
ours would be a good life
And we could be better than so many
I would never stress you
about bringing home the plenty

For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it,
But you’ll never know it. We’ll get old.
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder.

You’ll never know, we’ll never know
We’ll never know the good life
We’ll never know the good life
You’ll never know the good life

Somebody once told me that
there are watchers and there are doers in this world.
Guess I’m a watcher, not by choice,
it’s just what I was hurled
We’re just two friends,
it’s not a risky situation.

I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife
I would never doubt you,
ours would be a good life
And we could be better than so many
I would never stress you
about bringing home the plenty.

For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it,
But you’ll never know it. We’ll get old.
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder.

You’ll never know, we’ll never know
We’ll never know the good life
We’ll never know the good life
You’ll never know the good life

Rest your head upon my shoulder,
(I’m so tired, you can’t see)
now that life’s a little colder.
(I could love you simply)
And even if you’ll never know,
(Wouldn’t leave if it was me)
my love will never run away like the sunshine
Good time friend not just the good times

For all these things, another life I’ll have to wait
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it,
But you’ll never know it. We’ll get old.
Let’s not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder.

You’ll never know, we’ll never know
We’ll never know the good life
We’ll never know the good life
You’ll never know the good life
