Honeymoon Is Great, Wish You Were Her Lyrics

I’m in love with another woman who simply ain’t my wife
She haunts my every thought, she taunts my troubled mind
She ghosts right through my body like a phantom on the wings of the night
I’m in love with a woman who simply ain’t my wife

I’m in love with an amazing woman, she just is not my wife
What will I tell my pastor, friends, my family or said blushin’ bride?
I cannot seem to pray this preyin’ madness off my troubled mind
Lord, I just didn’t see this comin’ in my life

Don’t ask me what I’m thinkin’, Honey, you know I cannot lie
I’m day-drinkin’ about seeing that woman and it’s drunk drivin’ my mind’s eye blind
It’s got me howlin’ at the honeymoon, like some lone werewolf under the weird green lights
I don’t know what I’m thinkin’, but I know I just can’t think or drink her off my troubled mind

I’m thinkin’ I wish you were her
I wish you were her
Oh flesh of my flesh, I wish that you were her
And I know that it hurts and that nothin’ could be worse (than to hear)
The honeymoon’s great, but I wish that you were her

Whenever we make love, I’m made sadder every time
Cuz I feel like I am cheatin’ on a woman who is not my wife
I feel like she can see me, like she’s starin’ right through your goddamned eyes
I kiss your lips and I feel her whisper back up into mine

She’s sayin’ I wish I was her
I wish I was her
To the bone of her bones, I wish that I was her
But I’m just the ghost in her shell, that’s gonna haunt you like a hell
I hope your honeymoon’s great honey, but I too am wishin’ that I was your her

I’m in love with another woman, please don’t tell the wife
I cannot seem to stop it and it’s fuckin’ up my fucked up life
I’m haunted by a face that could set a thousand war ships to flight
It floats right through my body like a fragrance on the winds of the night
These visions of eternal love cloud my judgment and they blind mine eyes
And as the wings of this heavenly dove, trouble the water, trouble the winds of my many oh so troubled minds, I’m howlin’, the honeymoon’s great, but I wish that she were her

If it’s not one thing it’s a mother, fuck her. You’ll leave and I’ll be left alone to wonder
If I was with her, would I start wishin’ that she were you?
It’d be kinda funny, honey. if it weren’t so damn true
I’d gauge my eyes right out if I thought it would help me not to see her when I looked at you

And I got too much time on my hands, for these nightmare day dreams
But there’s a few things if I could I’d rearrange
And it’d be kinda funny, Honey, if it weren’t so damn true
I can’t help myself darlin’, I swear to god I’m sorry, for wishin’ that she were you

Hell knows what any of this means, Heaven knows a man can’t control his dreams
God knows I ain’t no Christ and Christ knows I’d never dream of harmin’ my wife
And yeah the honeymoon’s great, but I wish that she were her
God knows I ain’t no Christ, Christ knows I’d never dream of harmin’ my wife
But I’m thinkin’ the Honeymoon’s great and I can’t stop wishin’ that she were her
