Lyrics
I Need A Wife
Modern girls have so much fun
But there's so much work to be done
I got dishes piled miles high
My cat's got only five lives
I don't need a doctor to cure me
Don't need no lawyer to serve me
I got everything that I need
But a clean house, and ironed shirts, a vehicle that works
(chorus)
I need a wife for my life
He's gotta be good lookin'
For all my friends to see
He'll whistle while he works
Won't treat me like a jerk
And he'll do my dirty laundry
Oh, I need a wife
He can be from Texas, or North Carolina
It don't really matter, cuz I'm open minded
He can be five foot six, or six foot five
Get over here and clean up this dive
Don't need a priest to forgive me
Don't need no cowboy to thrill me
I got everything that I need
But a clean house, and ironed shirts, a vehicle that works
(chorus)
I need a wife for my life
He's gotta be good lookin'
For all my friends to see
He'll whistle while he works
Won't treat me like a jerk
And he'll do my dirty laundry
Oh, I need a wife
(bridge)
Husbands are good at takin' out trash
Fixin' the sink and mowin' the grass
I need someone to take all my crap
Someone to be my better half
Oh, oh I need a wife for my life
He's gotta be good lookin'
For all my friends to see
He'll whistle while he works
Won't treat me like a jerk
And he'll do my dirty laundry
He'll do my dirty laundry
Oh, I need a wife
I need a wife
