This is a beautiful rendition of the song. I wish Bowie performed it like this live - "Be My Wife"'s lyrics suggest a mood much more melancholy and low key than that on the album version, which this cover portrays very well.

Actualy I've always found this song quite cynical and deliberatly hollow.
Note Bowie repeats the verse and chorus immediatly after first singing them and then repeats the very first line a second time.
This suggests that he is perhaps addressing three differant people (perhaps three potential "lays" in a bar) rather than someone he loves.
Also, if you interpretate it as a love song it's somewhat self-pittying, hardly a declaration of adoration a-la "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney.
