Lyrics
Oh, the good life
Full of fun, seems to be the ideal
Mmm, the good life
Lets you hide all the sadness you feelSing 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 romanceYes, the good life
To be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alonePlease remember
I still want you
And in case, you wonder why
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life goodbyeSo be honest with yourself
Don’t try to fake romanceIt’s the good life
To be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them aloneSo, please remember
I still want you
And in case, you wonder why
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life goodbye
