Good Wife - MIKA

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 shoulders

«Oh my god, Sam, what’s happened to you?»

Says his wife’s just left with his 2-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 when 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 do’ers 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 when 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 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 when 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
