The River

Baby, hold it, just let me try
For just one minute be this other guy
Live his life
With my home and my faithful wife
And your pretty face to kiss some nights
Ain't I a lucky guy, I get what I want
Ain't I a lucky guy, unlucky for some.
Baby, I like it, it feels alright
Now that I see it through his cheating eyes
I can't stop smiling
How could I not be satisfied
So glad I ain't the one on the losing side
Ain't I a lucky guy, I get what I want
Ain't I a lucky guy, unlucky for some.
No need to feel guilty baby
I'm happy to be
The one that you come to babe, instead of me
So I don't know where tonight
Love will lead me but that's alright 'cos
Ain't I a lucky guy, I get what I want
Ain't I a lucky guy, unlucky for some.
