Lyrics

Oh, the good life
Full of fun, seems to be the ideal
Mmm, the good life
Lets you hide all the sadness you feel
Sing it, Billy
You won't really fall in love
For you can't take the chance
So be honest with yourself
Don't try to fake romance
Yes, the good life
To be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alone
Please remember
I still want you
And in case, you wonder why
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life goodbye
So be honest with yourself
Don't try to fake romance
It's the good life
To be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alone
So, please remember
I still want you
And in case, you wonder why
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life goodbye
