Good Wife
Comes on overWants to drown his sorrowsGot a two-seater sofaAnd some whiskey in a bottleBroke and in tearsWith the weight of the world on his shoulder
Oh my God SamWhat's happened to youSays his wife's just left himWith his two year old daughterTo live in Acapulco with some idiotShe only met a couple months ago
I wish I could tell you that
If it was meI would be a good wifeI would never doubt youOurs would be a good lifeAnd we could beBetter than so manyI would never stress youAbout bringing home the plenty
For all these thingsAnother life I'll have to waitWould have been perfectIf only God had wanted itBut you'll never knowAnd we'll get oldLet's not talk about itRest your headUpon my shoulder
You'll never knowYou'll never know, you'll never know the good lifeYou'll never know the good lifeYou'll never know the good life
Somebody once told meThat there are watchers and doers in this worldI guess I am a watcherNot by choiceIt's just what I was hurledWe're just two friendsIt's not a risky situation
I wish I could tell you that
If it was meI would be a good wifeI would never doubt youOurs would be a good lifeAnd we could beBetter than so manyI would never stress youAbout bringing home the plenty
For all these thingsAnother life I'll have to waitWould have been perfectIf only God had wanted itBut you'll never knowAnd we'll get oldLet's not talk about itRest your headUpon my shoulder
You'll never knowYou'll never know, you'll never know the good lifeYou'll never know the good lifeYou'll never know the good life
Rest your head upon my shoulderI'm so tired you can't seeNow that life's a little colderI could love you simplyAnd even if you'll never knowWouldn't leave if it was meMy love would neverRun away like the sunshineGood time friendNot just the good times
For all these thingsAnother life I'll have to waitWould have been perfectIf only God had wanted itBut you'll never knowAnd we'll get oldLet's not talk about itRest your headUpon my shoulder
You'll never knowYou'll never know, you'll never know the good lifeYou'll never know the good lifeYou'll never know the good life
