Comes on over
Wants to drown his sorrows
Got a two-seater sofa
And some whiskey in a bottle
Broke and in tears
With the weight of the world on his shoulder
Oh my God, Sam
What's happened to you?
Says his wife's just left him
With his two-year-old daughter
To live in Acapulco with some idiot
She only 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
And 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
And 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 doers in this world
I guess I am a watcher
Not by choice
It's just what I was hurled
We're just two friends
It's 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
And 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
And 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 you can't see
Now that life's a little colder
I could love you simply
And even if you'll never know
Wouldn't leave if it was me
My love would never
Run away like the sunshine
Good time friend
Not just the good times
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
And 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
