Always Be the Wife

Yeah

Oh

Let me tell you something, baby

Before you think you know the game

He′ll tell you everything you wanna hear

Just to make another dollar to his name

He might call you baby

Might promise you the world

But there's a difference between the woman he needs

And the woman he calls his girl

You think you got his heart

You think you got his time

But when the money disappears

He comes running back to mine

You can help him get the bag

You can build it up all night

But when the day is over

I'm the one he holds tight

Might think you're getting closer

But baby read between the lines

You′re waiting for a future

That was already promised mine

Tailtor to a spy

That's the vow we made that night

You can have his attention

But I′ll always be the wife

He knows exactly what to say

To keep you hanging on

Tell you that he loves you

Tell you I'll soon be gone

But I know where his heart is

I know where he comes home

And every road he takes eventually

Leads him back to what he knows

You're looking at the money

Thinking money means you won

But while you're helping build his future

He's coming home when the work is done

You can help him get the vibe

You can pay him up all night

But when the day is over

I'm the one he hold tight

You might think he ain't getting closer

But baby, read between the lines

Been waiting for a future

That was already promised mine

'Til death do us fry

That's the vow we made that night

Who can have his attention

But I'll always be the wife

I ain't fighting for a title

I ain't chasing after promises

You can stay and play your part

You can help him chase that dream

What he says and what he means

So keep sending him the money

Keep believing it

Keep waiting on forever while I'm standing by your side

You may think you're the future, but the truth is plain inside

He may come looking for you, but he comes home to his wife

So, baby, don't confuse attention with the place inside his heart

Somebody can be part of a story without ever getting the starring part

You can help him chase the bag, you can stay there through the night

But when the lights go down

You will never be the wife

I'll always be the wife

I'll always the wife
