He comes on over, wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seat sofa and some whiskey in a bottle
Broke, in tears, with the weight of the world on his shoulder
Oh my God, Sam, what's happened to your senses?
Wife's just left with his two-year-old daughter
To live in Acapulco
With some idiot she 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
But 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
I guess I'm a watcher, not by choice
It's just what I was wrong
We're just two you friends
It not 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,
But 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
But 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
