Good Wife
MIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seater sofa
And some whiskey in a bottle
Broke and in tears
With weight of the world on his shoulder
Oh my God Sam
Says his wife's just left him
With his two year old daughter
To live in Acapulco with some idiot
She only 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
And we could be
Better than so many
I would never stress you
About bringing home the plenty
For all these things
Another life I'll have to wait
Would have been perfect
If only God had wanted it
But you'll never know and 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 doers in this world
I guess I am a watcher
Not by choice
It's just what I was hurled
We're just two friends
It's not a risky situation
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
And we could be
Better than so many
I would never stress you
About bringing home the plenty
For all these things
Another life I'll have to wait
Would have been perfect
If only God had wanted it
But you'll never know and 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
Rest your head upon my shoulder
I'm so tired you can't see
Now that life's a little colder
I could love you simply
Even if you'll never know
Wouldn't leave if it was me
My love would never
Run away like the sunshine
Good time friend
Not just the good times
For all these things
Another life I'll have to wait
Would have been perfect
If only God had wanted it
But you'll never know and 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
The song "Good Wife" by Mika is about a man named Sam who has just experienced a heartbreaking divorce. He reunites with a close female friend who is there to console him. In the song, she sees him parked on her driveway, seeking solace in her company. She asks him what happened and he reveals that his wife left him with their two-year-old daughter to go live in Acapulco with another man she had only met a few months ago. Sam is drowning in sorrow and whiskey, clearly at a loss with how to deal with this unexpected turn of events. The female friend offers to be a good wife to him, promising to support and never doubt him. She assures him that their life together would be stress-free and better than so many others, with her overlooking the fact that they could potentially jeopardize Sam's already broken marriage in the process.
The song portrays a complicated situation, with the female friend weighing the idea of being with someone who is still married to someone else, and is clearly in a vulnerable state. The chorus repeats that the potential for the good life is gone, as Sam will never know what he could have had. The song is melancholy but also has an upbeat tone to it. The music is made up of Mika's usual eclectic mix of influences, with a catchy rhythm and a large orchestration, mixing elements of pop, rock, funk, and classical music.
