"Idle Wife" 是由Paul McCartney 和 Linda McCartney 共同創作的一首歌曲,是Paul McCartney的經典作品之一。
以下是這首歌的歌詞:
Verse 1:
Sitting on the shelf, doing nothing at all
All day and all night, feeling like a pauper
All my dreams are wishes, they're never gonna fall
So I'm gonna make a move and get a real man's job
Chorus:
So you're an idle wife, that's no big surprise
But I can't stand the sight of you looking so high
I'm gonna get my own slice of heaven and stay there
I'm gonna take my chances and take off on my own
Verse 2:
There's no point in grieving, it's not like I'm leaving you out in the cold
There's so much life out there and it's all so beautiful
But if you feel left behind, well you better find your feet and walk
Because life's like a big wheel and it keeps rolling on
Chorus:
So you're an idle wife, that's no big surprise
But I can't stand the sight of you looking so high
I'm gonna get my own slice of heaven and stay there
I'm gonna take my chances and take off on my own
Bridge:
And if you don't believe in what I say
Well then you're a hopeless case and you might as well admit it now
Because you're going to find out, I ain't lying around
And I ain't going back to you when I come back home
Chorus:
So you're an idle wife, but I ain't going back to you
You can try to keep me here but I ain't staying put
I'm gonna get my own slice of heaven and stay there
I'm gonna take my chances and take off on my own
