Everything is boring, every day, theres more nothing to do
My daddy didnt love me, so I guess I moved on to you
Now everything is better since you came around
I found someone fun that wont let me down
The only thing separating you from me is screen
And some wedding ring
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver, a wife-leaver
Im sure you need her
But you could make a right cheater, a right cheater
Oh, barriers and levels couldnt box me in
I get the 1960 cut of your jib
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver
We could go to dinner and pretend to not see that ball and chain
Shell slip under the table when she hears Im in the paper
Or sound of my name
Cause she has everything I never got
A big sense of self, a good stack of odds
And when she combs my hair, it feels like I cant breathe
I wonder what it means
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver, a wife-leaver
Im sure you need her
But you could make a right cheater, a right cheater
Oh, barriers and levels couldnt box me in
I get the 1960 cut of your jib
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver
Peter, Peter, Peter, ah
Peter, Peter, Peter, ah
Peter, Peter, Peter, ah
Peter, Peter, Peter, ah
I like you, Peter
I wish that you were a wife-leaver
Oh, Im sure you need her
But I bet you could make a right cheater
And girls never get credit for what they do
Baby, good or bad, its all on you
If I wasnt in need of a pawn to take the world
Id probably be with her
But I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver, a wife-leaver
Im sure you need her
But you could make the right cheater, a right cheater
Oh, barriers and levels couldnt box me in
I get the 1960 cut of your jib
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver
I like you, Peter
I wish you were a wife-leaver, a wife-leaver
