Lyrics for The Good Life

Oh the good life Full of fun seems to be the idea Yes the good life Lets 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 It's the good life To be free and explore the unknown Like the heartaches When you learn you must face them alone Please remember I still want you And in case you wonder why Well, just wake up Kiss the good life goodbye Well, just wake up Kiss the good life goodbye
