Good Wife

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 shoulder.

Oh my god, Sam, what's happened to ya?
Says his wife's left with his two-year old daughter
To live in Acapulco with some idiot she only met two 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

So 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 up on my shoulder.

You'll never know
You'll never know
We''ll never know the good life
We''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 the 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

So 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 up on 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 up on 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 will never run away like the sunshine
Good time friend, not just the good time

So 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 up on 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

Buena Esposa

Ahí viene él a ahogar sus penas
Tengo un sofa de doble asiento, y algo de whiskey en una botella
Se ha echado a llorar con el peso del mundo en sus hombros

Dios mio Sam, ¿qué te ha pasado?
Dice que su esposa se ha ido con su hija de dos años
a vivir en Acapulco con algun idiota que apenas conocio hace dos meses

Me gustaría decirte que
Si fuera yo, sería una buena esposa
Nunca te dudaría
La nuestra sería una buena vida.
Y podríamos ser mejor que muchos
Nunca te estresaría
con traer mucho a casa

Así que por todas esas cosas,
Otra vida, tendre que esperar
Hubiera sido perfecto
Si solo Dios lo quisiera
Pero nunca se sabra,
Y envejeceremos.
No hablemos de ello,
Pon tu cabeza sobre mi hombro.

Nunca conoceras
Nunca conoceras
Nunca conoceremos la buena vida
Nunca conoceremos la buena vida
Nunca conoceras la buena vida

Alguien una vez me dijo que hay observadores y hay hacedores en este mundo
Supongo que soy un observador, no por elección. Es como fui lanzado.
Sólo somos dos amigos, no es una situación riesgosa.

Me gustaría decirte que
Si fuera yo, sería una buena esposa
Nunca te dudaría
La nuestra sería una buena vida.
Y podríamos ser mejor que muchos
Nunca te estresaría
con traer mucho a casa

Así que por todas esas cosas,
Otra vida, tendre que esperar
Hubiera sido perfecto
Si solo Dios lo quisiera
Pero nunca se sabra,
Y envejeceremos.
No hablemos de ello,
Pon tu cabeza sobre mi hombro.

Nunca conoceras
Nunca conoceras
Nunca conoceremos la buena vida
Nunca conoceremos la buena vida
Nunca conoceras la buena vida

Pon tu cabeza en mi hombro (estoy tan cansado, puedes ver)
Ahora que la vida es algo fria (podría amarte facilmente)
Y aunque nunca lo supieras (No me iria si fuera yo)
Mi amor nunca huira como un rayo de sol
Buen tiempo amigo, aunque no el momento correcto

Así que por todas esas cosas,
Otra vida, tendre que esperar
Hubiera sido perfecto
Si solo Dios lo quisiera
Pero nunca se sabra,
Y envejeceremos.
No hablemos de ello,
Pon tu cabeza sobre mi hombro.

Nunca conoceras
Nunca conoceras
Nunca conoceremos la buena vida
Nunca conoceremos la buena vida
Nunca conoceras la buena vida
