It used to be red wine there in room 3-2-9

Over the river where we weren't well-known

Now it's two coffees then off to the office

Then back in the driveway and sittin' at home

Sneaking around with me

Or being tied down with me

Which one would you rather have

(Be honest)

Dying to be with me

Or watching TV with me

Is this what we wanted so bad

I'd rather have what we had

We carefully planned it

What our hearts demanded

No more motel rooms

No more cheatin' lies

Now we're lookin' at it

A neatly wrapped package

But open it up and there's no surprise

Sneaking around with me

Or being tied down with me

Which one would you rather have

(Be honest)

Dying to be with me

Or watching TV with me

Is this what we wanted so bad

I'd rather have what we had

I'd rather have what we had

I'd rather have what we had
