The National - Trophy Wife Lyrics

The National Lyrics

"Trophy Wife"

No, nobody wants to be
No, no one's lover
No matter what they say

Lovers know they are the ones
Who one day have to go

Trophy wives, I know they wander
And find a young, young man
Trophy wives, I know they wander

One time you were a good rabbit
To all the girls
And all their lovely mothers

You tried a piece of everything
Now nothing turns you on

Trophy wives, I know they wander
And find a young young man
Trophy wives, I know they wander

Run, run, baby, I don't feel alive
But I'm pretty and I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna be alright to drive
To New Jack City for a younger man
With a better brain

I, I fell in love with you
No matter what you say
But you were right about the reasons

I don't want to be
What I'm becoming

Your trophy wife, I know they wander
And find a young, young man
Your trophy wife
I know they wander
And find a young man

Your trophy wife
I know they wander
