The Who - My Wife lyrics

My Wife

The Who

My life's in jeopardy

Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be

I ain't been home since Friday night

And now my wife is coming after me

Give me police protection

Gonna buy a gun so

I can look after number one

Give me a bodyguard

A back belt Judo expert with a machine gun

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane

When she catches up with me

Won't be no time to explain

She thinks I've been with another woman

And that's enough to send her half insane

Gonna buy a fast car

Put on my lead boots

And take a long, long drive

I may end up spending all my money

But I'll still be alive

All I did was have a bit too much to drink

And I picked the wrong precinct

Got picked up by the law

And now I ain't got time to think

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane

When she catches up with me

Won't be no time to explain

She thinks I've been with another woman

And that's enough to send her half insane

Gonna buy a fast car

Put on my lead boots

And take a long, long drive

I may end up spending all my money

But I'll still be alive

And I'm oh so tired of running

Gonna lay down on the floor

I gotta rest some time so

I can get to run some more

She's comin'!

She's comin'!
