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

That 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

That I deserve 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
Can I have a midlife crisis too?
Can I have a midlife crisis too?
Can I have a midlife crisis too?
