Nobody's Wife
Anouk · Together Alone
for the times that I killed your dreams
for the times that I made your whole world rumble
for the times that I made you cry
for the times that I told you lies
for the times that I watched and let you stumble
it's too bad, but that's me
what goes around comes around, and you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife
I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
left you lyin' in that bed alone
was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder
you're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see
cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older
I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my way
It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, and you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time, no, that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife
It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, and you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time, oh no, that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife
I'll never be, never be, never gonna be, never gonna be, never gonna be
nobody's wife
nobody, yeah, nobody, yeah, no no no, never gonna be, never gonna be (fade out)
