Johnny Paycheck - Friend, Lover, Wife lyrics

 

Let me tell you about the woman I know once

 

She don't drink, she don't smoke

She can't stand a dirty joke

She don't hang out till the morning light

She don't have to get high, Lord, to get it right

She's a friend, she's a lover, ooh, she's my wife

 

But I'll take a drink, Lord and I'll have a smoke

And I've told some down right filthy jokes

I've been known to hang out till the morning light

Been known to get high trying to get it right

But that's just me, you saw, that's just me

 

Well if you don't know my woman

You might think she's square

But if you wanna see that woman

When she lets down her hair

She's the damnest thing

That's ever walk into my life, hello

 

She's a friend, she's a lover, she's my wife

[Incomprehensible] my wife, son and yours too

 

I wear jeans and she wears silk

I like beer and she likes milk

She can be soft like a summer rain

But lock them doors at night, she's a hurricane

She's a friend, she's a lover, ooh, she's my wife

 

Lord, it's still a mystery what she sees in me

She said long as I want her, she'll never set me free

She's a damnest thing that's ever walk into my life, hello

 

She's a friend, she's a lover, she's my wife

She's a friend, she's a lover, she's my wife

 

She's a friend, she's a lover

She's a fox, she's a mother

She's my friend, she's my lover, hey she's my wife
