MIKA - Good Wife Lyrics

Paul Simon style !

this song is SUCH a painful gay anthem :’(

Even for straight people, it's a song for unrequited love.

Am I the only one hearing that sound at 1:02?

"oh my god sam" ... Uncle sam.. is he casualy taking a piss on how America treats lgbt people? This kind of poetry makes me happy

I'll never know the good life.

1:08 sounds exactly like shout out to my ex by little mix

This song sounds like "sound of an orchestra"

I know exactly why I'm crying in the club right now

This is the story of my 20 somethings...

Comes on over
Wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seater sofa
and some whiskey in a bottle
Broken 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
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 it
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
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 it
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/we'll never know the good life

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

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

god this is a relatable feel

haha mood :)))

tbh i've never had this happen to me, but i can feel the emotion in this, and tbh i'm crying rn

0:22 should say "What's happened to ya?" and "Says his wife's left", not, "What's happened to your senses?"
1:08 should be, "She'll never know", and the others are, "will never know", etc.
1:56 should be, "For all these things" and "We'd have been perfect"
You're welcome.

That's what I hear, too.
I thought it's because I am German 🙈

*cries in gay*

I just love this song.

And even if you'll never know (wouldn't leave if it was me). my favorite lyric

Fuuck!!! this is such a very good song, it already made me cry... Let´s forget it´s about a gay situation, this applies to anyone, when you love a person and it seems like the universe is against it, you only have to face it and... just be there!

trop chic chiiiiiiiiic. j'adore

J'aime tellement les paroles ! Mika, n'arrête jamais d'écrire et de chanter !

Ti amo Mika. Un altro capolavoro che fa piangere... ti adoro, come potrei fare senza di te? ♥

I love this song
"hey, i know we're just friends and all, but i could TOTALLY be a better wife than your wife, even though I'm a guy... Just puttin' that out there... Just in case."
Oh MIKA. I feel.

This song breaks my heart. I know that feel bro. Having beautiful amazing unfortunately heterosexual friends with awful taste in partners is rough.

+Shelby Taylor but i think it'sabout the guy ""billy brown"" from the other song that makes sense

I love doing sit ups to this song, it just flows up and down so perfectly <3

let 's not talk about it rest your head upon my shoulder. poetry...

"-says his....wife just left" not "he says"etc. sorry. just listed again...I got it together in the end

This is my new fave off the album BTW, cheers! ;)

I think it goes: 'Oh my God, Sir- what's happened to ya? he says...wife's just left him..."'

+Georgina hamilton Hamilton i think youre right about the oh my god sir, but not the rest

+Georgina hamilton Hamilton it's definitely "Sam"
