I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR WIFE

I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR WIFE

You used to really look at me
With passion in your eyes
We used to spend long hours
Dressing in disguise;
I was once your "nurse"
And you were the "teacher"
I loved you as the "rock star"
And I played the "preacher".

Now the only game we play
Is poker with your pals
We don't go to bed together
I chat with the gals;
You stay up with the TV
I read a book in bed
And find you sleeping anywhere
You can lay your weary head.

I don't want to be your wife
I liked it best before
When we made love in the hammock
Or on the kitchen floor;
Our bodies may be older now
But I still feel the same
I want to be your girlfriend
One of your old flames.

Meet me at Joe's Bar & Grill
After nine o'clock tonight
I'll be in my fur coat
Dressed underneath in white;
If you don't want me then
In your ol' settled life
We'll just go our separate ways
I don't want to be your wife.
