He comes on over, wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seater sofa and some whiskey in a bottle
Broken, in tears, with the weight of the world on his shoulder
Oh my God, sam, what's happened to ya? Says his
Wife's just left with his two-year-old daughter
To live in acapulco with some idiot she only met a couple months ago

I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife
I would never doubt you
Ours would be a good life
We could be better than so many
I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty

For all these things, another life I'll have to wait
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it
You'll never know it, we'll get old
Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life
You'll never know the good life
You'll never know the good life

Somebody once told me that there
Are watchers and there are doers in this world
Guess I'm a watcher, not by choice, it's just what I was told
We're just two friends, it ain't a risky situation
I wish I could tell you that
If it was me, I would be a good wife
I would never doubt you
Ours would be a good life
We could be better than so many
I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty

For all these things, another life I'll have to wait
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it
You'll never know it, we'll get old
Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life
You'll never know the good life
You'll never know the good life

Rest your head upon my shoulder
(I'm so tired, I can see)
Now that life's a little colder
(I could love you easily)
Even if you'll never know
(Wouldn't leave if it was me)
My love will never run away like sunshine
Good time friend not just the good time

For all these things, another life I'll have to wait
Would have been perfect, if only God had wanted it
You'll never know it, we'll get old
Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder
You'll never know, you'll never know, you'll never know the good life
You'll never know the good life
You'll never know the good life
