Good Wife

(Ooooooooooo)

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
and we'll get old,
Let's not talk about it,
Rest your head
upon my shoulder.

You'll never know, you'll never know
you'll never know the good life,
You'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.
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 upon my shoulder.

You'll never know, you'll never know
You'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life.

Rest your head upon my shoulder.
I'm too 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 would 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
upon my shoulder.

You'll never know, you'll never know
you'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life,
You'll never know the good life.
