Trophy Wife

lyrics

Trophy Wife

I know you love me for my money.
You know that I don’t really care.
We go together just like charities and millionaires
I know you want me when it’s sunny.
You always leave me in the rain
I say that you’re the thief of hearts, you swear that I am Jesse James

But I’d never hurt you pretty baby.
I’d never want to cause you pain.
But sometimes your grip can leave a mark
and it’s spelling out your name
you stare so deep into my eyes it leaves a tattoo on my brain

(chorus)
and I want to know if just my money alone could buy your love.
Could it buy your love?
And I want to see just how much bribery would be enough
Could it be enough?
For you to spend your life as my trophy wife.

I know you call me old and crazy.
I know you take me for a fool. And I know the devil in your heart could make you sell the golden rule.
But you couldn’t hurt me pretty baby.
You couldn’t ever cause me pain.
No matter what you do to me, you know I’ll always feel the same
Just when I think I’ve lost the fire you’re stoking up my flame.

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
don’t act like it never crossed you mind.
Don’t act offended or pretend to be surprised.
‘cause everything could turn out to be just fine
and we could do some business
if that’s the way it’s got to be, well, alright.


Don’t break my heart now pretty baby.
This is a game that you could win.
By now your grip has left a mark and it spells out your name.
You stare so deep into my eyes it leaves a tattoo on my brain.

(repeat chorus)
