G     C              G
no nobody wants to be
    C           G
no no one's lover
    C                G
no matter what they say
F        C               F
lovers know they are the ones
    C                Am
who one day have to go

Chorus:
        D
trophy wives
             G
I know they wander
      D                Am
and find a young young man
         D
trophy wives
             G      D  
I know they wander

One time you were a good rabbit
To all the girls
And all their lovely mothers
You tried a piece of everything
Now nothing turns you on

Chorus:
Trophy wives, I know they wander
And find a young young man
Trophy wives, I know they wander

Am                       F
Run, run, baby, I don't feel alive
          G
But I'm pretty and I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna be alright to drive
    Am                  F
To New Jack City for a younger man
        G
With a better brain

I, I fell in love with you
No matter what you say
But you were right about the reasons
I don't want to be
What I'm becoming

Chorus:
Your trophy wife, I know they wander
And find a young, young man
Your trophy wife
I know they wander
And find a young man

Your trophy wife
I know they wander
