Good Wife Lyrics

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

Oh my god, Sam, what's happened to ya?
Says his wife's left with his two-year old daughter
To live in Acapulco with some idiot
She only met two 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 and we'll get old
Let's not talk about it, rest your head up on 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 the world
I 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 and we'll get old
Let's not talk about it, rest your head up on 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 up on my shoulder (I'm so tired, you can 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 time

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 and we'll get old
Let's not talk about it, rest your head up on 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
