Lyrics
Trophy Wife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No nobody wants to be
No no one's lover
No matter what they say
Lovers know they are the ones
Who one day have to go
Trophy wives
I know they wander
And find a young young man
Trophy wives
I know they wander
One time you were a good rabbit
To all the girls
And all their lovely mothers
You tried a piece of everything
Now nothing turns you on
Trophy wives
I know they wander
And find a young young man
Trophy wives
I know they wander
Run run baby i don't feel alive
But i'm pretty and i'm pretty sure
I'm gonna be alright to drive
To new jack city for a younger man
With a better brain
I fell in love with you
No matter what you say
But you were right about the reasons
I don't want to be
What i'm becoming
Your trophy wife
I know they wander
And find a young young man
You trophy wife
I know they wander
And find a young man
Your trophy wife
I know they wander
