Good Wife - Discussion and lyrics


Recommended Posts

I also like that one he sang a bit of in the showcase interview, All That She Wants. The bit I heard sounds really good. I think the album is going to be awesome.

 

Ohhh yes, Marilyn, I forgot this one. The less I like by now is TAY.  :(

Yet that is the single! I don't understand how they picked that one when they must have heard the other awesome songs. I like TAY, but the other songs I've heard are better than that, especially for the lead single. Still, looking on the bright side, TAY is better than Celebrate.

I love how this song is making a huge positive impression on everyone. It's clearly one of his stronger songs :wub2:

 

:thumb_yello: That's for sure! :wub:  We are like obsessed with this song! :fisch:  And maybe many of us MFCers consider ourselves to be "good wives" as well ... :teehee:  :wub:

 

Love,love

me

O_O I must be a rare breed...maybe Ill like it better when they officially release it <.< 

We're all different and we like different songs , there are some Mika songs I don't like that other fans love, some move us more than others because they ring a bell in us or not, so it's fine :wink2::itsok:

I think that no comment is needed on my part regarding this matter  :naughty:

 

Um, no, my darling little (not so little) brother... none whatsoever.

I have the lyrics  :D

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uuuhh
 
He comes on over,
wants to drown his sorrows on the,
two-seat sofa
and some whiskey in a bottle.
Broken tears with
the weight of the world on his shoulders.
 
Oh my god Sam,
what's happened to your senses?
Why she's just left with 2-year-old daughter.
Driven to Acapulco with some idiot
she 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 we'll
have to wait.
Our life could be perfect if only God
had wanted it.
But you'll never know it.
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 do'ers in this world.
Guess I'm a watcher,
not by choice,
it's just what I was told.
We're just two friends,
it's not a risky situation.
 
Ooohh
 
I wish I could tell you that...

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 upon my shoulder,
(I'm so tired to conceal)
now that life's a little colder.
(I could love you easily)
Even if you'll never know,
(Wouldn't leave if it was me)
my love will never run away like the sunshine
return only with just the good times.
 
For all these things another life we'll
have to wait.
Our life could be perfect if only God
had wanted it.
But you'll never know it.
We'll get old.

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

Hi, we actually have the lyrics in the first post of this thread. :thumb_yello:

 

I just updated the lines Joy has been singing in the most recent shows. After listening to the Naver Showcase (about 50 times), I'm pretty sure the one line in the bridge is, "My love will never run away like the sunshine, Good time friend not just the good time."

 

Gosh, I love this song. :wub:

I noticed in the first post it still says ''not by choice, it's just whay I was told''. Is it ''told'' then? 'Cause I can't really hear it, I think he says ''deserve'' or something very similar, but definitely not ''told''. Is it just me? I'm sorry for being so annoying, but I'd really love to have the correct lyrics since I like this song very much.

No, you're not being annoying -- I'm a stickler for getting the lyrics right, too.

 

I'm not 100 percent sure what the right word is. "Told" makes sense.  If you watch his mouth, you don't see a "d" sound for deserve there -- at least not that I can make out in any of the versions I've watched.

 

Look here:

 

 

at around 20:50. I agree it doesn't sound like "told" but I'm really not sure what else it could be.

 

We'll just have to ask him. :naughty:

Ah, you're right, he doesn't seem to say ''deserve'', but what is it then? Can the first letter be a R or a W? And then I hear a S right after. Actually my first guess was he says ''It's just what I was..'' and a word I don't understand at all. No idea. I think it's funny that even you native English speakers can't understand what he says at times XD At least you too hear ''Good time friend not just the good time''. I was unsure of that one as well because I honestly don't understand what's supposed to mean. Does it make sense in English?

I agree with the R, to me it sounds like "it's just what I was r..." and maybe even "r...l" or "r...l(e)d"

 

This is always so annoying  :sneaky2:  It's like transcribing a video and getting stuck on one word that cannot be made up from the context.

At 20.48 I hear very clearly here: "somebody once told me" etc... :wink2:

This is a song I'll never get tired of - love it to bits... :wub:  :fisch:

 

Love,love

me

I don't hate it, the beat is good but I have the same trouble as in a few other songs : too much lyrics, too fast. :doh: It's what makes this song so strong but I hate when I can't sing along after a few listening. So I give up... And now it's the moment I'll admit it : I still don't know by heart the whole lyrics of Love Today and Good Gone Girl. Bad fan, bad fan, I know. It's a real shame. Now I'll go hide myself in a corner. :roftl:

Could it be "It's just what I reasoned."? That's what I seem to hear now ...
