Lyrics

What’s good for the gander
Is not for the goose
You went and hitched your engine
To another girl’s caboose
Yes you’re middle aged
But that’s no excuse
So settle in, buckle up
And let me speak my truth

Can I have a midlife crisis too?
Cos I’d give anything just to do the things you do
I could play the victim but that role belongs to you
Can I have a midlife crisis too?

Just before you left
You said I was never there
That’s the most ironic thing
I’ve heard anywhere
You replaced your family
Then replaced your hair
So brace yourself
As I now declare

I would like a midlife crisis too?
Cos I’d give anything just to do the things you do
You’re out there living life like it’s 1992
Can I have a midlife crisis too?

How lovely it would be
To spend 10 weeks overseas
But I can’t walk out on my responsibilities
You’re living like a teenager –
Wild and fancy free
And guess who’s left to clean up the debris


You said I was no good
At being the little wife
I was useless in the kitchen
And all those other facts of life
But since you’ve left I’ve realised
The problem wasn’t me
I surveyed the audience
And everyone agrees


Can I have a midlife crisis too?
Cos I’d give anything just to do the things you do
I don’t care if it’s a stage that you’re going through
Can I have a midlife crisis too?

Can I have a midlife crisis too?
Cos I’d give anything just to do the things you do
The only crisis I get is the one that’s caused by you
