Letras de I Wish I Was Your Friend - Wanda Jackson, The Party Timers

I Wish I Was Your Friend (original)

I wish I was your friend and not your wife
You’re with your friends each night while home alone my teardrops fall
You’re having such a good time you don’t take time to call
I seldom see you anymore it’s such a lonely life
I wish I was your friend and not your wife
I wish I was your friend how happy I could be
To have you call me every night and want to be with me
You’d always take me with you I could share your other life
I wish I was your friend and not your wife
The children hardly know you they just see you now and then
They call you Mr Daddy when you come walkin' in
To think you’d rather be with friends cuts us like a knife
I wish I was your friend and not your wife I wish I was your friend and not
your wife

(traducción)

Ojalá fuera tu amiga y no tu esposa
Estás con tus amigos cada noche mientras solo en casa mis lágrimas caen
Te lo estás pasando tan bien que no te da tiempo a llamar
Rara vez te veo más, es una vida tan solitaria
Ojalá fuera tu amiga y no tu esposa
Quisiera ser tu amigo que feliz podria ser
Que me llames todas las noches y quieras estar conmigo
Siempre me llevarías contigo Podría compartir tu otra vida
Ojalá fuera tu amiga y no tu esposa
Los niños apenas te conocen, solo te ven de vez en cuando
Te llaman Sr. Papi cuando entras
Pensar que preferirías estar con amigos nos corta como un cuchillo
Desearía ser tu amigo y no tu esposa Desearía ser tu amigo y no
su esposa
