Verse
                  
sweetie, you don t look so good
                 
your bottom lip is bleeding.
                
i cut it on your collarbone
                    
go on, go back to sleep.
                   
sugar, who were you thinking of?
                    
you woke me with your breathing.
                          
honey, how am i supposed to tell?
Chorus
                                     
if i were a spy in the world inside your head
                                      
would i be your wife in a better life you led?
Verse
                 
thought i saw you on the stairs
               
of this american century.
                 
i went up through all the years
                
you were years ahead of me.
                 
remember when you dipped your hand?
             
i never saw it coming.
                       
you took the wind out of me.
Chorus
                                     
if i were a spy in the world inside your head
                                        
would i be your wife in the better life you led?

i d do you better than you do

when i m on bitters and absolut.
