Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's the good life

Full of fun, seems to be the ideal

Yes, the good life

Lets you hide all the sadness you feel

[Verse 2]

You won't really

Fall in love

'Cause you can't take the chance

[Verse 3]

So be honest

With yourself

Don't try to fake romance

[Verse 4]

Yes, the good life

To be free and explore the unknown

Like the heartaches

When you learn

You must face them alone

[Verse 5]

Please remember

I still want you

And in case you wonder why

Well, just wake up

Kiss that good life goodbye

[Verse 6]

Please remember

I still want you

And in case you wonder why

Well, just wake up

Kiss that good life

Goodbye
