jonathan richman – when i say wife lyrics
when i say ‘wife’
it’s cause i can’t find another word
for the way we be
but ‘wife’ sounds like you’re mortgaged
‘wife’ sounds like laundry
when i say ‘wife’
it’s cause i can’t find another word
for the way we are
but ‘wife’ sounds like you’re mortgaged
sounds like the family car
the tax form comes
fill out ‘married’
cause i know what they’re lookin for
but i’m tellin you
that i’m just a person
same as i was before
when i say ‘wife’
it’s cause if you said ‘lover’ every day
you’re gonna begin to gag
but ‘wife’ sounds like you’re mortgaged
sounds like the laundry bag
the tax form comes
fill out ‘married’
a technicality
but i’m tellin you
that i’m not married
i’m not single
i’m still me
i say ‘wife’
because it stops all talk right away
about the way we be
but ‘wife’ sounds like you’re mortgaged
‘wife’ sounds like laundry
