Lyrics
The Good Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, the good life, full of fun
Seems to be the ideal
Yes, the good life let's you hide
All the sadness you feel
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 to explore the unknown
Like the heartaches
When you learn you must face them alone
Please remember, I still want you
And in case you don't know
Well, just wake up
Kiss the good life, good bye
