MIKA - Good Wife Lyrics

Uhh, comes on over
Wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seater sofa
And some whiskey in a bottle
Broke and in tears
With weight of the world on his shoulder

Oh my God Sam
What's happened to ya?
Says his wife's just left him
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 am 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 so tired you can't see
Now that life's a little colder
I could love you simply

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 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 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
